The Year 8 Awards Evening takes place in July each year and is a highlight of the year.It is an occasion where effort and excellence are celebrated in a relaxed and somewhat humorous atmosphere.
Mr. Slater presents the evening where all the staff and over 200 parents find out who has won prizes for their efforts and trophies for their excellence in each subject.All the pupils receive a Yearbook which contains pictures of each Year 8 pupil and their current ambitions for their future!
Mr. Slater usually speaks for a few minutes summarising the academic year and this is usually interspersed with many jokes and stories.It is an informal evening which is usually thoroughly enjoyed by all.
