Duke of Edinburgh Award Celebration Evening

13 May Duke of Edinburgh Award Celebration Evening

Last Thursday evening we held our annual awards celebration evening. It was lovely to once again be able to celebrate the students’ achievements in person, as last year we had to celebrate virtually with displays in school and online due to Covid restrictions.

The students below have achieved a total of twenty awards over the last year.

Congratulations to all who have worked so hard and persevered through lockdown to achieve their goals. Those achieving awards this year are as follows: bronze award, Porscha, Enis, Rahim, Justin, Mason, Leon, Ella, Lucy, Frankie, Tara and Danny (all Year 11), Sameer, Adiyat, Philip and Noorjahan (Year 12), and Maisie (ex-student), silver awards go to Zahra and Sameer (Year 12) and Josiah (ex-student) gold was completed by Lauren (ex-student).

Many of these students and ex-students were present in Boothroyd Hall on the night to receive their awards from our Headteacher Ms Keane, who praised the way that the students had applied themselves, especially through lockdown, and learned so many skills for their later lives. She also said she is looking forward to many more bronze, silver and gold awards next year – so it’s over to you Years 10, 11 and 12!

Thanks very much to all the students receiving awards for their dedication and to the friends and families present for their support, appreciation, and warm words.

Thanks also to Ms Keane for her support for the award in school and to Ms Simpson (our photographer) and Ms Draisey for also supporting this event.
