The Sprowston High School Credit System

At Sprowston, work that is considered to be of a good standard is awarded a green credit slip. Students pass these onto their form tutor, and a congratulatory letter is sent home when a certain number of credits have been achieved.

All students receive credits. A large proportion of the class receive them when books are marked. Many teachers will award a handful in a lesson for good efforts, helpful assistance to others, responding to questions etc.Many students amass large numbers (eg over 50) in an academic year.

And GOLD ?

1. GOLD credits are awarded only very rarely for exceptional work.
2. GOLD credits are awarded publicly by the subject teacher in front of the class!
3. The recipient is photographed receiving their GOLD credit from their subject teacher, and the photo is displayed in science laboratories on the Wall of GOLD.
4. The photograph and the reasons for the award are displayed on this website. Student names are NOT used.
