Positive Behaviour

We believe in rewarding good work and good behaviour!

Students will be praised and rewarded regularly if their conduct is a credit to the Academy. The Belvedere Academy rewards good behaviour, attendance and citizenship in addition to effort and exceptional work.
Success in work is rewarded by the Credit Note system. Students are praised and then recognised/rewarded for good effort and work (both inside and outside of classrooms) and gain certificates, badges and other rewards.
Interim Reports will carry an effort grade in each subject. Staff meet on a regular basis to discuss any individuals who are giving cause for concern and parents are invited into the Academy to play a part in the monitoring of their daughter’s progress.

Credit Notes

Credits will be given to students in all Year groups of the Academy.  Students will be issued with a Credit Note if they fulfil any of the Credit award criteria listed aver the page (see example Credit Note).
