At Bedford Academy our standards are high. We believe that no goal is beyond possibility for our students and we encourage their aspirations and achievements by use of rewards.
The end of each term is a highlight for all. Our students are recognised for their achievements in front of their peers during celebration assemblies. Heads of Year, Teachers and Form Tutors nominate students for both academic and pastoral based rewards. Our students thoroughly enjoy these events and are inspired to do their best the following term to secure a reward for themselves.
During the Summer term reward trips take place and special awards are made. Students who have achieved the highest standards of attendance, achievement, effort and participation are rewarded and invited to take part in these exciting events.
Every Friday, students will be given the opportunity to present their work at the Proud Table and receive stamps for their hard work. Once 6 stamps are collected, they have the opportunity to enter different draws, winning tiers of prizes. Students will choose which draw to enter with their rewards, opting to either add rewards into a weekly draw with small prizes, or add their entries into a less frequent, half-termly or termly larger prize draw.
Students also have the opportunity to win tickets through a BA star, attendance, praise points and Head of Year nominations.
