OLDHAM SPRING TERM 2010
The MOTIV 100% Challenge is a rewards based initiative which encourages excellent attendance attitudes at school over a full term.
This Challenge will operate from 04/01/10 – 01/04/10 with half term being 15/02/10 – 19/02/10
There are two categories within The MOTIV 100% Attendance Challenge:–.
- Badges/Rewards for 100% Attendance
- Badges/Rewards for 100% Effort for Attendance
100% Attendance Category
Badge 1 will be awarded for 100% attendance in half-term 3 (Spring Term 10)
Badge 2 will be awarded for 100% attendance in half term 4 (Spring Term 10)
This allows pupils the opportunity to be awarded at least one badge in either of the half terms for their 100% attendance.
An attendance reward will be awarded to all pupils who have achieved two badges i.e. 100% attendance over the whole term (a Crayola reward for primary school children or a MOTIV Reward Card for secondary school children).
100% attendance is defined by the school register showing all present or statistically present marks. The two exceptions for ‘authorised absence’ are pupils whose absence marks relate to a recognised impairment (as the Disability Discrimination Act requires us to treat those with a disability ‘more favourably’) or those pupils granted leave for religious observance.
For the avoidance of doubt ‘The 100% MOTIV Challenge’ strictly operates within the DCSF coding for authorised and unauthorised absence. A full summary of the definitions is available on request.
100% Effort for Attendance Category
In the 100% Effort category, up to 10 extra badges will be made available for each Primary School and each Secondary School will be provided with up to 50 extra badges at the end of each half-term. Up to 10 Crayola Rewards will also be available for each Primary School and Up to 50 MOTIV Reward Cards will be available for each Secondary School.
The school will determine the recipients for this category in line with school policy but the challenge team would recommend priority to be given to the following pupils:
- Pupils demonstrating a significant improvement on the previous half term; The challenge team would request that at least 50% of these badges and rewards are given to the pupils who have statistically demonstrated the ‘most improvement’ from the previous half-term (for badges) or the previous term for Rewards
- Pupils who have been awarded 2 badges in the 100% effort category
- Pupils who have an exceptional reason for an absence which prevented the pupil achieving 100%;
- Pupils who’s Medical and dental appointments prevented a pupil achieving 100% but where they attended school before or after the appointment.
- Where there is a ‘tie-breaker’ recorded lateness may be used to determine which pupil receives the Badge or Reward
Badges and Delivery
For the avoidance of doubt where a school has not submitted their order in time for final distribution of badges or rewards, but has previously confirmed their participation in the Challenge, the school will be allocated 25% of the total number of pupils on the roll. This will be deemed full delivery for the purposes of our obligations hereunder and any additional orders made directly by the school will be charged an administration and delivery fee of £20+VAT.
Exclusions/Inclusions
The MOTIV 100% Challenge is aimed at statutory school age pupils and therefore nursery school children are not included in the badge and reward scheme. Nursery schools may award their children with The Attendance Challenge certificate which is available on request by the school. Schools may also purchase additional rewards and badges for their nursery classes through direct arrangement with MOTIV (0161 282 8380 / support@motiv.org.uk).
Additional Sponsored Prizes for Pupils and Schools
Each school will be awarded at least one additional sponsored family rewards; for example Nando’s family meal, Oldham Athletic Football Tickets. These will be allocated to schools by MOTIV in agreement with SAIS. These rewards should be raffled in school from the winners in both categories.
Feedback
We welcome feedback on the challenge from schools and parents. Your comments for evaluation from schools, parents or pupils may be submitted to MOTIV via the contact details below.
Where a school, parent or pupil wishes to request further consideration in either of the categories a Review Form is available on request. It is important to note that this scheme rewards excellence in attendance and it is in rare cases where more than the allocated number of badges and Rewards will additionally be given to the school.
