End of Year Awards
AWARDS
Every year at the end of term we issue awards to pupils who have achieved above and beyond the norm. This year, although we were unable to host our awards ceremony in the usual way, we were still able to allow the pupils to take part in the awards ceremony, via a Google Meet in their own classroom. We always end the year proud of our pupils but this year the children have surpassed our expectations in every way, in what has been a very difficult year. The children coped admirably with the many changes which were brought about due to Covid and they have remained positive and hardworking throughout the year during home learning and learning in school. We are proud of each and every child, whether they received an award or not.
CITIZEN OF THE YEAR
Congratulations to the children who were nominated as ‘Citizens of the Year’ this year. These children were deemed to be the most respectful, kind and caring children in our school. It was a very tough decision because we are very proud to say that all of our pupils are respectful, kind and caring and this has been evident throughout the year when they have received Citizen of the Week awards and have also gained many points for their House. We would like to say a huge well done to all of our pupils for being the best they can be this year, especially considering the circumstances surrounding Covid 19.

OVERALL HOUSE AWARD
The children earn points all year for being good citizens and for displaying good manners, behaviour and for working hard. These points are counted each week by the House Captains, with support from Mrs Shearer and the weekly total for each house is announced to each class. At the end of the year, the points determine which house has won overall.
This year the winning house was – COUTHALLY.
Well done to every child who has earned points for their house.
INTERHOUSE SPORTS AWARDS
Sports were slightly different this year but we did manage to do most of our interhouse sports events in our class bubbles and each class had their own sports day, earning individual points which contributed to their house overall scores. The results are as follows –
Interhouse Football Winners – Couthally
Interhouse Hockey Winners – Couthally
Interhouse Hockey Awards – Medwyn
Interhouse Relay Award – Couthally
