LOCKDOWN SHOUT OUTS!

We have a Shout Out board in our Sixth Form Refectory where staff write positive notes praising students for their work, attitude, achievements etc and students really value this public display of recognition.

During lockdown, it has been really important to continue this praise as our Sixth Formers have been working hard under quite difficult circumstances and deserve acknowledgement for their endeavours. In Ms Cruse’s weekly virtual assemblies, she presents the names of all the students who have been nominated by their teachers for things like using initiative, researching independently, scoring highly in a test, submitting work early, generally being fabulous etc and then puts their names into a random name selector (the wheel of names!) and the winner (one student each from years 12 and 13) wins a £10 Amazon voucher!

Lucky winners so far have been:

Y12

Lataya Armstrong

Kyle Roberts

Harry Dawtry

Hannah Watson

Nicole Johnson

 

Y13

Harry Walters

Ben Ashmore

Natalie Hallam

Rosie Lower

Curtis Jenner

 

All the hard work pays off!
