How it works:

Student Awards:

Each Term students and teachers nominate a student who they feel has made a significant achievement either in relation to own progress, contribution to the school or wider community. 

The nominations are then discussed in School Council meetings.

The successful student is awarded £200 to be used within the school.

Leader award:

Each year students and staff can also nominate a staff member who they feel has contributed more towards the school.
