Student Rewards

Situated by our student entrance, the Summit Shop opens for business every half term for students to cash in their House Points! Students can spend their HPs on everything from sweets and treats to house-branded stationery, clothing and even high street vouchers!

Our teachers will recognise students' best work with WoW (Work of the Week) postcards in every lesson. On a Friday, these postcards can be exchanged at the Summit Shop for prizes! There are different themed prizes each week. If students manage to collect a postcard for every subject then they can claim an extra special reward!

We believe that showing up matters — and we make sure our pupils know it. Our dynamic attendance rewards programme is designed to celebrate consistency, commitment, and character, while reinforcing our core values of Aspiration, Respect, and Community.

Each week, students with 100% attendance are entered into our exciting Pizza Mondays draw, where two lucky winners enjoy a delicious reward to kick off their week. We also host half-termly prize draws for Just Eat and Amazon vouchers, recognising those who maintain excellent attendance over longer periods.

One of our most popular initiatives is the Weekly Attendance Wheel, streamed live every Monday morning. Three names are drawn at random, and the winners must race to find Mr Allen — the fastest gets first pick of the prizes, adding a fun and energetic twist to the celebration.

We also track attendance streaks, rewarding pupils who maintain high attendance over extended periods with special incentives. And for those who love a challenge, our Attendance League brings a competitive edge: forms go head-to-head each week, aiming to climb the leaderboard and knock others out of the running.

These rewards aren’t just about prizes — they’re about building habits of resilience, responsibility, and pride. By recognising and celebrating attendance, we help students understand that every day counts — for their learning, their growth, and their future.

Prizegiving is one of the highlights of our school calendar, taking place at the end of the year at Stockport Plaza. The event is invite-only and celebrates a wide range of achievements throughout the academic year from attendance and attainment through to individual subject awards, house awards and celebrating those who exemplify the Future Me characteristics!

At Stockport Academy, we use Sparx as our dedicated online platform for independent study in mathematics. Sparx provides personalised, adaptive tasks that support each pupil’s progress, reinforcing classroom learning and encouraging consistent practice beyond the school day.

This platform plays a key role in our commitment to Aspiration, helping students take ownership of their learning and strive to become the best version of themselves. By engaging regularly with Sparx, pupils build resilience, deepen understanding, and develop the habits needed for long-term academic success.

To celebrate commitment and excellence, we run our Sparx Stars initiative recognising those pupils who go above and beyond in their independent study. Every half term, we host a Sparx Stars Showcase, where outstanding effort and achievement are rewarded through certificates, prizes, and public recognition.

Sparx is more than just homework it’s a pathway to personal growth, academic confidence, and a culture of high expectations.

At Stockport Academy, we proudly recognise students who consistently demonstrate our core values of Aspiration, Respect, and Community through the presentation of Value Certificates in every assembly. These awards celebrate pupils who go above and beyond not just in achievement, but in their character, attitude, and contribution to school life.

Nominated by Heads of Year and Form Tutors, recipients are acknowledged for living out our values in meaningful ways: showing resilience in learning, kindness in relationships, leadership in teams, and pride in their community. These moments of recognition reinforce our commitment to the Future Me character development framework, helping students understand that who they are is just as important as what they achieve.

By celebrating character in action, we inspire all pupils to strive for excellence, treat others with respect, and contribute positively to the world around them every day, in every lesson, and in every interaction.
