Thank you so much to everyone who gave us opinions and feedback on our annual Prize Giving through the blog and at the parent forums. All your opinions were merged with those of staff and pupils to make changes to the current format. Feedback we received included:

•  a strong opinion that a prize giving should still take place every June in the church
•  nearly everyone would prefer to see more effort being awarded than ‘excellence’
•  link our school values to an award
•  many felt Art and Music should be there to recognise creativity
•  one sport should not be picked out as having a Player of the Year as we have teams for many categories and age groups in 10 different sports
• success in any school competitions should still be recognised e.g. sporting events, Writing competitions, photography awards.

With all these points taken into consideration you will see a very different Prize Giving this year. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts with us and, also from feedback, we will ensure the children are clear as to what each award is for.
