The Student Awards tab in the Student Portal's My Summary area gives students a positive pastoral view of their own record — the merit points and awards staff have recorded for them, rather than the behaviour incidents. It celebrates what has gone well: total points, points by merit type, and every individual award with who gave it and why. This view is a feature that must be enabled for your school — contact support if you would like it switched on.

What the page shows
At the top of the page the student sees two headline figures:
- Total Points — all positive pastoral points ever recorded for the student
- Total Points This Year — points recorded in the current year
Below that, a table breaks the points down by Merit Type, with a column for total points and a column for points this year, sorted so the strongest merit types come first.

The award entries
The rest of the page is a diary-style list of the individual awards. Each entry shows:
- The date of the award
- The Merit Type
- Who the award was given by
- The Points recorded (the entry's star icon grows with the number of points)
- Any notes the staff member recorded with the award
Filtering the list
Students can narrow the list using the dropdown filters above the entries:
- Merit type — show only awards of one type, or all types.
- Staff member — show only awards given by a particular staff member.
- Entries are grouped by award period (month), and the groupings adjust to match the filters. If no entries match, the page says so rather than showing an empty list.
Where the data comes from
The awards shown here are the positive pastoral entries staff record in edge. Only the positive view is exposed to students — this page does not show negative pastoral or behaviour entries. A matching caregiver-side view exists for the Caregiver Portal and is switched on separately for the school.
