| Abstract | When Jill Hislop arrived at Haywood school in Nottingham as the new head teacher, attendance and punctuality were poor and many children felt school was not for them. Today, three years on, the school has one of the fastest rates of improvement in the country. This transformation involved changing the whole school ethos using an American programme called Consistency Management and Co-operative Discipline (CMCS). Jill Hislop explains the programme and the need to create a positive environment to attract and engage pupils. A whole school approach to attendance and punctuality is now in place with a careful use of carrots and sticks. Electronic registration, 1st day calling to parents, and a late gate have all made a difference. An improved curriculum has helped engage less academic pupils and a system of reward cards is popular. However despite the improvement Jill Hislop is constantly vigilant and is aware that there is still a lot more to do. |
| Abstract | The Karrot Rewards scheme was set up in 2001 after a police report said that truanting kids in Southwark, London felt bored, unappreciated and saw school as irrelevant. Karrot, funded by the police and Southwark Council distributes rewards for good attendance to the local secondary schools. Lisa Cole, Manager of the scheme, explains how it works and why they are trying to reach a wider range of pupils by rewarding improved attendance and good citizenship. Karrot also runs an internet bus. This visits deprived areas each night to get young people interested in education and to help improve police relationships in the community. Deputy head, Sergei Cefai talks about the success of the rewards scheme at Sacred Heart School and plays host to their end-of-term awards ceremony. Pupils give their views and Lisa raises the issue of getting all her schools to follow the scheme consistently. |
