Second Double Harris Points Week - Starts Monday 8 July

IMG 124 copyThe week beginning Monday 8 July 2019 will be our second Double Points Week, following the success of the first one in June. 

All positive points will be doubled as students continue to progress along the “Positive Pathway” working towards certificates, letters of achievement, the Head of Academy breakfast and the £30, £50 and £70 JD Sports vouchers.

The Positive Pathway is a simple points-based behaviour system that allows teachers to award positive points to students. Students can be awarded points for good work in their lessons, showing excellent manners and taking part in extracurricular sport.

Find out more about our Positive Pathway and work hard for those double positive points during Double Points Week!
