Academic Awards:

These are awarded by each subject leader to the outstanding pupil in that subject each year. Academic subjects choose the pupil on the basis of test scores, coursework and overall grades. Subjects such as Drama choose the pupil who the department feels has contributed the most to the subject over the past year. Combined Studies awards two prizes per teaching set in Year 7; one for overall achievement and one for progress and effort.
