CAT | About us

Every year we use our rewards data to create Santa’s naughty and nice list. Pupils whose name gets a high average number of rewards are considered to have been hard working and nice. Pupils with a low average have clearly been naughty !! Obviously, this is really just a bit of fun and not serious.

The press release and list was mentioned in over 250 press articles /radio slots. Including half page in The Sun.

We’re in the Daily Telegraph !

We love it when anyone mentions us – and particularly when its a national paper.

We did some research which showed a massive increase in house systems in UK state schools since Harry Potter. We supply rewards that help drive many house systems.

The story was picked up in a number of places with top billing going to the Daily Telegraph. Thank you them !

We’ve being doing some research into Sports Day, which we’re excited to say has been picked up by the The Sun and The Daily Mail.

Overall we found Sports Day to be alive and well in UK Schools with 98% of schools having one.

We are, obviously, very interested in rewards. Both the actual rewards and the reward process. 20% of schools only award the winners, 70% award winners and participation, 10% only award participation. The majority of teachers like to reward both winners and participation.

Sports Day policy is a challenge as all Schools have to balance a number of competing goals: They want to help motivate the sports starts of the future (which supports an argument for rewarding winners); they want all pupils to engage in sport and life a healthy lifestyle (which supports participation); and they want to support their school community (which suggests team rewards or competitions). It is a tricky balancing act. The absolute favourite answer was for schools to respond to that challenge with a mixed answer. Rewarding pupils for winning positions, but also rewarding all pupils for participation (with stickers at the event for younger pupils or certificates at the end of the day for older pupils), and ideally run a team event alongside. Those schools with houses passed individual achievement into house points – creating a team motivation.

Every school is unique and the right conclusion differs from community to community but overall the vast majority of teachers consider sports day to be an great part of school life. So the only real losers are the unfortunate 2% (c.500 schools) who don’t have a Sports Day.

We’re a SMARTA 100 award winner !

We’re a smarta 100 award winner ! Always nice to be recognized !
“The Smarta 100 are the most exciting, promising, disruptive new businesses, the family businesses who remain the cornerstones of communities, the innovators ploughing their own furrows in staid or declining industries, the recession-busters making a mockery of the doom and gloom, the web wonders, the teenpreneurs, mumpreneurs, olderpreneuers and, er, just about anyone who’s running a small business worth shouting about.
From the West Highlands to Westfield, we’re celebrating the high-street heroes, market traders on a mission, eBay entrepreneurs, budding Bransons and the emerging big businesses of tomorrow.
And we’ve picked out a few we think are extra smart in the areas that really make a business: resources, ethics, marketing and people.”

I am excited to say that our fun Father Christmas story about our mystickers reward system has been picked up by 103 different press outlets.

We’re in TES, Daily Mail, The Telegraph. We’re in papers from The Wiltshire Gazette and Herald to the China Daily. In all 12 national stories, 69 regional stories, 12 general online news media, 3 parent focused publications and 7 international publications!

Our story, full details are in an earlier post, was that our mystickers site has pupils from all over the country registering their rewards. Each of our stickers can have a unique mystickers code. Teacher’s give the coded stickers for good behaviour and pupils log then at mystickers.co.uk. Over 3,500 schools have used mystickers and in all over 2 million stickers have been logged. The story is in the data!

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!
