Summer Term 2025: Courageous Advocate Award

During COVID, Jessica became concerned about the impact of littering on the environment. As a response, she became very pro-active in keeping her local community litter free. Jessica continues to care passionately about keeping our green spaces clean and protecting wildlife from litter. In a whole school assembly, she reminded the children how litter severely harms wildlife through ingestion, entrapment and injury.

Autumn Term 2024

Each term, we will now select a pupil who has been an outstanding advocate for change. This term, I am delighted to announce that James, in Badger Class, has been selected to receive this award. Inspired by the charity work of rugby legend, Rob Burrow, James decided that he wanted to raise awareness of Motor Neurone Disease. Not only did James give a short speech to his class on the subject, but in June, he completed the 3 Peaks Challenge, raising £1,265 for the MND Association, a charity focused on improving access to care, research, and campaigning for people affected by Motor Neurone Disease. A number of pupils from classes across the whole school nominated James for this award, which is a reflection of the far-reaching impact his work has had on others.
