We are excited to have mystickers.co.uk mentioned in a full page article in Sec Ed magazine. See page 14 here.

The article is about how Lynn Gladd at Harefield academy has used an integrated rewards system of both positive and negative rewards to motivate her pupils to good behaviour. For positive rewards she uses our stickers and mystickers.co.uk! See below for some quotes:

“We developed a point system which all the students understand intrinsically. Students get positive and negative points for good and had behaviour respectively. At the end of term, the negative are subtracted from the positive, and we reward the highest scoring students with prizes, which could include a trip, cash, or gifts of some sort”.

“Positive points generate rewards – we use a website (www.mystickers.co.uk) for instance, which allows me to reward the children with codes to type into the website and they can redeem prizes – as well as special mentions in class and recognition of their good work”.

“Students also follow their point each week and they know what points they are getting, so it creates a whole school approach to improving behaviour”.

We are pleased to say that we now do even more recycling. We’ve always been pretty good with recycling our paper, card and toner waste. As you can see from this WRAP case study.

We now recycle all our plastics too! We recycle our PET, HDPE, PVC, LDPE. PP and PS. We don’t actually have a lot of plastics waste but that little we do have we wanted to try to make the best of.

We just had a request for sticker sponsorship. A Mum from Cornwall wanted some reward stickers for her daughter for use as a motivational aids when she goes to teach in Tanzania as part of a gap year project.

What a fantastic idea! We’ve been more than happy to provide her with some stickers with our compliments.

We’d love to do more of that. So if you are a pupil in a UK school and have a charitable need for stickers we’d love to hear from you. Please send your proposals directly to me ( henry at schoolstickers.co.uk) and we’ll look at your ideas.

Lastly, we’ve been promised photographs later this year. I’ll post them here when I get them.

Following on from my post introducing me I thought it was also time to properly introduce the majority owner of School Stickers: Bridges Ventures.

Bridges is one of the world’s leading social venture capitalists – it ONLY invests in businesses where there is a social return. For School Stickers that social return is obvious and inherent in the product – every time we sell a product a classroom of pupils gets a little more motivated to achieve! As the founder used to say “We don’t sell 30 million stickers. We create 30 million smiles”.

Why am I telling you all this? Because I want you to know that every party involved in School Stickers from the print floor to the owner wants to create great products that help pupils and teachers achieve – great products that you can believe in.

School Stickers: Helping Teachers. Motivating Pupils.

Henry.
