Reward Scheme

We want to encourage students to make the most of the opportunities the Centre can offer by rewarding students with points for good attendance, behaviour and effort. For every 50 points, students receive a £5 voucher of their choice. That means students who achieve 1000 points could be rewarded with a digital camera, iPod or portable DVD player, whilst 3000 points could be enough for a laptop!

Students can earn points for:
