Headteacher’s Outstanding Achievement Inaugural Breakfast
Ms Moriarty invited over 90 students from Year 7 to Year 10 who have received in excess of 500 individual Achievement points over the year to a special Breakfast event on Thursday morning to acknowledge this outstanding milestone. This is an exceptionally high number of points to accrue in a year demonstrating consistently positive attitudes to learning and a great sense of self regulation. These students represent a very wide range of abilities and talents indicating how successful our students can be regardless of their personal start points. At the breakfast the students were presented with a certificate and were invited to each write down some of their biggest achievements from the year.
I am sure you will appreciate what a task this is to try and narrow down, especially when some of our students had achieved well over 800 positive achievement points! Here is a selection of some of their responses. We are so proud of our incredible students. (Further images to follow shortly.)
