Pupil Achievements

Every week on a Monday we hold a Celebration Assembly when the achievements that children have made throughout the week are celebrated.  Children and teachers nominate each other for certificates to celebrate these achievements.

Certificates are placed on the achievement board in the main school entrance that everyone is welcome to come and read.
