Welcome to our Key Stage 4 Celebration Evening We host this ceremony to formally recognise and celebrate the achievements of our students and present them with school certificates and awards as well as their official GCSE certificates. The students receiving awards tonight have been nominated by their teachers, form tutor or Head of Year and have been selected in recognition of their hard work, positive attitude and good behaviour during their GCSE years. Our students, once again, performed exceptionally well in their GCSEs this Summer 2012 and achieved a really pleasing set of results for the school. Many of our students are being awarded tonight for exceptional subject performances and staff have nominated students for both dedication to their studies resulting in outstanding attainment as well as for hard work and effort during their studies to ensure they performed to their full potential. Many students have also been selected for their awards as they have demonstrated a real love for learning and during their subject work have shown passion, commitment and motivation to their own personal development and have stretched and pushed themselves to achieve the best they possibly can and supported their peers along the way. The aspirations and ambition of these students have inspired others in their classes and this hasn’t gone unnoticed by our teachers who have duly nominated these students for awards. Of course, there are also awards from form tutors to acknowledge those students who went the extra mile and made a positive contribution during form time. In addition, you can read more information on our special awards including the student who has been specially selected by their Head of Year in recognition of their general approach to whole school life and the students who have been specially selected to receive the Keith Chisholm Award and The Marie-France PayrÊ Award. We are proud of all our students and we look forward to rewarding all their achievements at this celebration evening.
