STUDENTS at a Hereford school are to be rewarded with virtual currency for their good behaviour.

Pupils at Kingstone High School are set to benefit from the Vivo Miles reward scheme with virtual currency being traded for rewards such as cinema tickets and sports equipment.

Chris King, the acting headteacher, said: “This will further reinforce and reward the high standards of conduct already shown from our students and we are delighted to have a technology based system that we know students will enjoy using”.

The system caters for the “silent majority” with good levels of attendance and academic achievement.
