Notice the good. Every day. In every class.

A name for each pupil, exactly as the teacher types it, plus their class, their House if they have one, the points they earn in each category, the privileges they choose and the thank-you notes they send. Full names are never needed: we recommend a first name and the initial of the surname, such as Alex M., and the platform works in exactly the same way. We do not ask for dates of birth, addresses, photographs, or any information about special educational needs, health or family, and we do not collect pupil email addresses.

Pupils see only their own progress. When a pupil picks a friend to share a moment with, the classmate appears as a first name and initial. Teachers see their own class. School leaders see their whole school. Nobody outside your school sees pupil information, apart from the small team who run the service, and only to give you support.

No. Pupils cannot message each other, upload photos or write anything that anyone else reads. Thank-you notes to staff use ready-made choices, so there is nothing to moderate. Nothing is public.

With a username and a simple password on a printed login card, or by scanning the QR code on it. There are no emails and no accounts for pupils to manage. A teacher can create a new password at any time, and a pupil account can only ever see that pupil’s own points, prizes and messages.

No. There are no adverts, we never sell or share pupil data, and we do not use it for marketing or to train AI. Data is used only to run the service for your school.

Your school is the data controller and we act as your processor, following your instructions. Our Data Processing Agreement forms part of our Terms and takes effect automatically. We can also provide a Data Protection Impact Assessment template, a privacy notice you can adapt for families, and a list of the services we use to run the platform.

Data is held on servers in the EU. Everything is sent over HTTPS. Pupils cannot see other pupils, teachers cannot see other classes, and school leaders can only see their own school. Backups are encrypted before they leave our server, stored in the EU, and kept for up to 90 days.

A school leader can delete a class at any time, which permanently removes the teacher and pupil accounts and their recognition records. To remove your whole school, email us and we will delete everything within 30 days. If a paid plan ends without renewal, we keep your data for 90 days so you can return, then delete it. Backups are encrypted before they leave our server, stored in the EU, and kept for up to 90 days.

It is built to be used with a keyboard and a screen reader, with strong colour contrast, large touch targets and a Listen button for younger pupils. We are a new service, so if you find a barrier, tell us and we will fix it. Read our accessibility statement.

No. Points are never taken away as a punishment. A teacher can only remove points to correct a mistake, and is asked to confirm first. Behaviour that does not meet expectations is handled the way your school already handles it. SchoolJewel makes sure the good behaviour around it is noticed too, so the positive examples are the ones that stand out.

Teachers decide who is recognised, so every point is genuine. SchoolJewel makes that quick, prompts you when someone has not been noticed lately, and handles everything else automatically: balances, Personal Bests, House scores and celebrations. Because it works the same way every day, recognition stays consistent across every class.

Create your school, add a class and a teacher, and the teacher can paste in a class list and print the login cards. It is designed to take one short session, not a training day.

Any device with a web browser: tablets, Chromebooks, laptops or the classroom whiteboard. There is nothing to install. Teachers can recognise effort from any browser.

Not yet. Pupils are added by pasting in names, and they sign in with a QR card. If a link to your MIS matters to you, tell us.

No. There is no parent app or account for now, so there is nothing for families to set up. A privilege such as “a positive message sent home” lets you share good news the way you already do.

It sits alongside it. It does not replace your policy, your relationships with pupils or your sanctions.

Pupils exchange the points they have earned for a reward of their own choice from a shelf your school sets up, and you can pause anything at any time. Our suggestions lean towards responsibilities, privileges and experiences rather than sweets and toys, and food ideas carry a reminder to check allergies and dietary needs. Every pupil earns points in their own way, so every pupil has something to choose.

While poorly structured rewards can displace natural interest, research shows that clear, informational recognition actually boosts confidence and effort. SchoolJewel is designed to support intrinsic motivation – celebrating meaningful effort and specific strengths through Hero, Sage, and Guardian categories so pupils take genuine pride in their steady progress.

There is no ranking or league table of pupils. Personal Best compares each pupil only with their own past. Houses are scored per pupil so smaller groups are not disadvantaged, and teachers see a gentle prompt for pupils who have not yet been recognised.

Reward 1 Class is free for 1 class, with no card needed. Reward 5 Classes covers up to 5 classes for £189 a year, and Reward My School covers up to 15 classes for £199 a year. Plans are priced per school per year, never per pupil, and each class can hold up to 35 pupils. Need an invoice or purchase order? Email info@schooljewel.com.

There is no long-term contract. Paid plans run for one year and renew automatically unless you cancel. You can cancel at any time and keep access until the end of the period you have paid for, and we aim to email a reminder before each renewal. The free plan never renews.

Upgrade whenever you like. Nothing is lost.
