Celebrating Everyday Success! 

At Arbour Academy, we believe that every success—big or small—deserves recognition. For many of our learners, education has not always been a positive experience, and we are committed to changing that mindset by celebrating achievements every single day! 

Our Tuck Shop Tokens are a fun and rewarding way to acknowledge the hard work, effort, and progress our students make. 
How It Works: 

✅ Pupils earn a Tuck Shop Token when they achieve an overall daily grade of A. 
✅ Tokens can be spent at the tuck shop for snacks or saved up for bigger prizes over time. 
✅ The more effort you put in, the more rewards you can enjoy! 

Half-Termly/Termly Reward Trips: Celebrating Hard Work & Commitment! 

At Arbour Academy, we believe in recognising and rewarding the effort and dedication our learners put into their education. Our half-termly reward trips give students the opportunity to work towards exciting experiences outside the classroom! 

How It Works: 

Each week, staff average out daily grades to give students an overall weekly grade. 

Weekly grades convert into points: 
A = 3 points 
B = 2 points 
C = 1 point 
D = 0 points 

At the start of each half term, we set a points target—students who reach this target qualify for the reward trip! 
These trips are a fantastic way to celebrate consistent effort, positive behaviour, and resilience, while also providing fun and memorable experiences for our learners. 

Keep working hard, stay committed, and earn your place on the next reward trip! 
(Previous trips include; Chester Zoo, Chill Factore, Total Ninja and Ice Skating)

H.E.R.E Award

H.E.R.E. Award: Recognising Our Core Values 


At Arbour Academy, we do things differently HERE—and our weekly H.E.R.E. Award is designed to celebrate the students who truly embody our core values: 

🔹 High Standards – Always striving for excellence. 
🔹 Empathy – Showing kindness and understanding to others. 
🔹 Resilience – Overcoming challenges with determination. 
🔹 Emotional Response – Managing emotions positively and supporting peers. 

Each week, during our celebration assembly, we recognise the students who have demonstrated these values the most.

At Arbour Academy, we believe in celebrating success every step of the way, helping our learners feel motivated, valued, and ready to achieve great things!
