"...the Carrot Rewards Platform is a winning combination."
The Trust is a family of five academies in the West Midlands; three secondary schools, and two primaries. They have a shared ethos, common values, and collective goals, and they use one fully-integrated reward scheme.
The trust set out to create one of the most comprehensive reward systems in the country, 'TG Rewards', to celebrate and reward the achievements of its students across its many institutions.
The scale of the scheme is impressive, generating healthy competition, extra motivation, and helping to forge a common identity.
Carrot Rewards has worked closely with the Trust to make it possible for the up-to-the-minute results to be publicly shown on screens around each school, as the trust believes that this will lead to driving students to want to earn more rewards. This shows not only how each academy is performing, but also in comparison to each other in straightforward and engaging ways.
The Trust has established clear rules about how their 'TG Rewards' system is used, from what rewards should be given out for, to how many stickers teachers can give out in each class thereby ensuring that the scheme always has value. All rewards are automatically shown in the school's Carrot Rewards account, enabling teachers to monitor everything; from how each year-group, subject, or class is progressing.
Steven Groutage, COO, Tudor Grange Academies Trust explains the benefits:
"School Stickers is incredibly good value, the online tools and rewards are incredibly flexible, and we have really been able to make it our own. Our students work incredibly hard and love to collect the variety of stickers and postcards available. The combination of School Stickers and the Carrot Rewards platform is a winning combination."
The Trust chose the scheme for its reward system because it believes it offers the best of both worlds. Students receive immediate recognition for their hard work or exemplary behaviour with a sticker. But because this then goes into their planner, and is logged online, it also becomes part of something bigger and longer-term, enabling them to work towards collecting not just all the possible rewards, but helping their class, subject, year and school. It now credits the scheme as playing a crucial role in the outstanding Ofsted results it now achieves. This is particularly impressive, given that one of the schools brought into the group was classed as a failing and in special measures when it was taken over.
