The Times – Cornell Research backs School Prizes.
No comments · Posted by admin in Academic Research, Rewards in the Press
This Times Article reports on a Cornell University study on prize based rewards. To quote the article:
“Jackson found that pupils who benefited from the Texas high school programme not only went to college in greater numbers, but also continued to improve their grades and remained in college longer.
His 46-page report finds “no evidence of worse outcomes” and concludes “that incentive programmes may have lasting positive effects even after rewards are no longer provided. Providing monetary incentives to both students and teachers … can lead to meaningfully improved student outcomes”.”
The article also pulls information about the debate on prizes where some consider if defacto bribery leading to a dependence on rewards and others consider it a stepping stone to an intrinsic and long term love of learning. We all know that every school, every pupil is different. This research, and this article, provide some more colour in the motivation debate.

Pupils register their name with us and we can use that to work out which names have the most, and least, rewards. From that we assume that the most rewards = good and the least = naughty. Hey presto….Santa’s draft naughty or nice list! A fun pre-Christmas story!

Santa’s DRAFT naughty and nice name list.
No comments · Posted by admin in Santa's Naughty Or Nice List
• Frances and Shaun set to top Festive gift-list
• Meghan and Rory need to be delightful all December
• Boys ARE naughtier than girls
We’ve used our mystickers.co.uk data to calculate the nicest and the naughtiest kids names in the UK. Over 60,000 pupils over the UK have created online sticker books on mystickers.co.uk using the unique 6 digit codes printed on our stickers, praise postcards and certificates. Pupils collect their rewards to win in our monthly prize – this month they release their inner musician by winning a Playstation 3 with rock band and band in a box!
We’ve taken every first name with over 30 members and calculated the average rewards redeemed. We’ve then ranked them to work out who has the most (the nicest – and on Santa’s list!) or the least (the naughtiest – who need to be nice ALL December!)
| Nicest Girls | Naughtiest Girls | Nicest Boys | Naughtiest Boys |
| Frances | Meghan | Shaun | Rory |
| Kelly | Georgie | Calum | Harvey |
| Stacey | Izzy | Ali | Bob |
| Eve | Jess | Brandon | Tyler |
| Aisha | Joanna | Samuel | Brad |
| Fiona | Cara | Steven | Curtis |
| Melissa | Maria | Alfie | Paul |
| Fatima | Josie | Mohammed | Toby |

MyStickers – Congratulations November Winners !
No comments · Posted by admin in MyStickers Prizes / Winners
One went to the top ranked pupil – a pupil from Highbury Fields School. One to a ‘raffle’ winner – a rafffle where every reward had a chance to win. The more rewards logged the better the chance. The raffle prize was, after a random pick, won by a student at St Joseph’s Catholic College in Bradford.
This month we only have a raffle prize – and it’s a great one! A Playstation 3 with rock band and band in a box. A great way to release your inner musician ! Good luck !

Congrats to our 2 millionth Sticker Winner.
No comments · Posted by admin in CarrotRewards.co.uk, MyStickers.co.uk
Congrats to George Sully of Leytonstone Business and Enterprise Specialist School. He redeemed the 2 millionth sticker on mystickers.co.uk on the 22nd October 200 at 14:10 and 22 seconds.
3,000 schools in the UK buy our rewards (stickers, praise postcards, and certificates) with our 6 digit unique code. That code can be redeemed on mystickers where pupils (over 400,000 have registered so far) create an online reward book. Pupils compete in our monthly prizes (another pupil at Leytonstone won an ipod earlier this year) and can compete in school specific prizes if the school uses our FREE rewards management tool carrotrewards.co.uk.
George won the opportunity to be a zookeeper for the day at Port Lympne Wild Animal Park in Kent. He’ll have a VIP tour, make treats for and feed the gorillas, have the keeper show him the Rhinos and much more. Thanks to Port Lympne for supplying such a great prize. He also gets a certificate (shown left) and £100 for travel and the gift shop.
