Governors' Award

The Governors’ Award was introduced to recognise excellence and commitment beyond the classroom. Examples below provide an insight in to the focus and eligibility of students for these awards. They usually take place every two years.

The award is not for:

• Students who have received the highest grades in tests or reports
• Students who represent the school in sport, music, drama or anything that is rewarded by the colours awards in school
• Students who work hard in lessons

Our next Governors' Awards will take place in Spring 2026.
