‘Ice-Lollies’ with the Head

Due to the glorious sunshine, our star pupils enjoyed an ice-lolly with Mr Blanchenot today, rather than a Hot Chocolate!

Firstly, Jem who has been nominated by Miss Wagstaff, told the group how he took part in a sponsored 13.5K run for Cancer Research. Jem completed the run in 1 hour 30 minutes and raised £158 for his chosen charity.

Next, Mrs Richards wanted to give both Alfie and Luay special recognition for showing kindness and personal excellence during the Year 6 transition day. It can often be a nerve-wracking time for new pupils, however Alfie and Luay stood out by being on hand when the Year 6 pupils came to visit.

Next Lauren, Daniella, Rebekah had been nominated by Miss Clayton for their beautiful artwork displayed on the village wells in the community of Newborough. To read more about what the young artists did, click here.

Lastly, Momina, had been nominated by Miss Spurrier for personal excellence while participating in the HOSPEX Programme at Queen’s Hospital, Burton. The feedback from the HOSPEX team commended Momina on her mature attitude and behaviour as well as always being punctual, polite, caring and a role model student.

At the end of the celebration, Mr Blanchenot also commended Lauren for winning the JTMAT Subject Excellence Award for Religious Education, where she created an incredible piece of art that depicted ‘living in a diverse world’. Lauren received a prestigious pin-badge and certificate.

Well done to you all for showing our school’s core values, Mr Blanchenot was extremely proud to be able to hear the pupil’s stories and achievements.
