Reward System

Overview

Reward System is an online behaviour and reward tracker built for schools. It is best suited to teachers who want one record for recognition and incidents; schools seeking parent access and school-wide analysis will need the paid plan. Its free teacher tier covers core classroom tracking, but wider school use comes at an annual per-school cost.

Key features

Points, events and follow-up

Teachers can award points to students and classes and choose the rewards themselves, so recognition can reflect the school’s own approach. Staff can also record good and bad news, sanctions, reports, comments and other events. That combination supports positive reinforcement as well as incident tracking, rather than reducing behaviour management to a points tally.

News can be referred to other teachers, with follow-up information added to the record. This is useful when more than one member of staff needs to keep track of an event. Class, form and house monitoring, including week-by-week improvement tracking, gives staff a way to look beyond individual entries and assess patterns over time.

Broader school oversight

The school plan adds whole-school and department analysis, plus homework and report tracking. Those additions make it the more relevant tier for senior leaders looking across groups or departments, while the teacher plan is oriented toward core tracking and class analysis.

Parents, access and data

With the school plan, parents can view reports and receive automatic updates daily, weekly or termly. MIS integration is also included, though it is not tied to a named system. The product is online, with users able to log in from anywhere, and its listed platform is web.

Reward System says data is protected in transit with SSL encryption and stored in the European Economic Area; its privacy policy specifies secure servers in the United Kingdom. The maker says the school owns identifiable student information and that it will not sell student information obtained through the software. Sixth Domain Ltd states that it is GDPR compliant and registered as a data controller with the ICO (Z3164232).

Pricing

For Teachers: free. It includes behaviour tracking, analysis of forms and classes, news referrals to other teachers, behaviour improvement and data security. This is the practical starting point for teachers who need core tracking without a school subscription; it does not include the school plan’s parent access, whole-school and department analysis, homework and report tracking, MIS integration or 9-5 support.

For Schools: £480 a year, billed per school per year. It adds parent access, whole-school and department analysis, homework and report tracking, MIS integration and 9-5 support. Schools should weigh the broader reporting and communication against the annual school-level fee. Enquiries can be sent to [email protected].

Platforms

Reward System is available on the web. The maker describes it as an online service that users can access from anywhere.

Who it's for

Teachers who need to award points, record events and review class or form progress are the clearest fit for the free plan. School staff and senior leaders who need broader analysis, parent communication or MIS integration have a stronger case for the paid school plan. It is designed for schools rather than general-purpose rewards outside education.

Pros and cons

• Pros: The free teacher plan includes event tracking, points, class and form analysis, and referrals to other teachers, allowing core work without the school subscription.
• Pros: Custom rewards and records for both positive and negative events cover more than incident logging alone.
• Pros: The school plan extends reporting to parents and adds wider analysis and MIS integration.
• Cons: Parent access, whole-school analysis, homework and report tracking, MIS integration and 9-5 support require the £480-per-year school plan.
• Cons: The listed platform is web, which may not suit schools seeking a dedicated mobile app.

Alternatives

Browse the Behavior Management Software category to compare school behaviour tools. LiveSchool may suit schools seeking a broader platform choice across web and mobile; it offers a free school-year pilot limited to one grade level and up to one school year, alongside a paid Starter plan.

Scholva Behavior & Discipline is worth considering if a free plan capped at 200 students or a free trial is important. Class Charts is another option for schools willing to request a demo for pricing.

DeansList is an alternative to consider. PowerSchool Behavior Support may fit schools that prefer to contact the provider for a demo rather than choose from a published price. Abre Behavior & Discipline is another paid option with pricing available by contacting the provider.

Behaviour Smart may be a better fit for mainstream primary and secondary schools seeking a package tailored to school setting and pupil numbers. Notis is another paid alternative, with pricing discussed through a demo.

Verdict

Reward System is a strong fit for teachers who want points, custom rewards, event records and class analysis without paying for the core teacher plan. Choose the school plan when parent updates, broader analysis and MIS integration matter enough to justify £480 a year per school. Look elsewhere if a mobile app is essential or if the school-level fee does not match the value of those added capabilities.
