End of Term Award Winners - Summer 2025/6

Congratulations to the winners of our Summer Term End of Term Awards!

These are the highest accolade in our behaviour policy and are only awarded to one child from 60 in each year group, each term. This is a great representation of the consistent effort, hard work and high standards these children show in school every day. These are only awarded to those who are consistently, every single day, making the correct choices and going ‘Over and Above’ what is expected of them.
 
I have great pleasure in announcing that this term’s winners are:
 
END OF TERM AWARDS – SUMMER TERM 2025/26
 
Mariam – Reception
 
Throughout the year this child has been a wonderful member of our class and a shining example of kindness, respect, and positivity. She is always polite, well-mannered, and follows all school rules with maturity beyond her years. Her commitment to always trying her very best, no matter the task, is truly admirable and reflects her hardworking and determined nature.
One of the first things people notice about her is her warm and genuine smile. She brightens the classroom each day with her cheerful attitude and positive outlook. Her approachable manner makes those around her feel comfortable and valued, and she has a natural ability to make others feel included. She is always polite and respectful to both adults and her peers, setting a wonderful example for those around her. 
A particularly special quality is the way she welcomes new children into the class. Whether it is introducing herself, offering to help them find their way, or inviting them to join in games and activities, she always goes out of her way to ensure that no one feels left out. Her kindness and empathy help new pupils settle in quickly and feel part of the school community from the very beginning.
She is a caring friend who treats everyone with respect and consideration. She is always willing to lend a helping hand, offer encouragement, and celebrate the successes of others. Her positive influence can be felt throughout the classroom, where she contributes to a happy, supportive, and inclusive environment. She always follows school rules diligently and can always be relied upon to do the right thing. I will miss her tidying up skills greatly next year! 
She should be incredibly proud of all she has achieved this year, and we are proud to celebrate the wonderful person she is becoming. For her outstanding character, excellent behaviour, welcoming nature, and unwavering determination to always do her best. She is a truly deserving recipient of this End of Term recognition and her name is ... Mariam!
 
Lily F – Year 1
 
We always find it tricky to choose our Over and Above award as we have so many children that work hard to follow the School Values and achieve their best.
We have chosen this pupil because they have been consistently amazing all year. This pupil arrives at school and greets those around her in a friendly manner and offers to help those who need it. Her peers will agree that she is kind, caring and a joy to be around. She will always support friends who are feeling sad or worried, and will soon have them smiling and laughing.
This pupil is organised and likes to help keep the classroom tidy even when she hasn’t been asked to. She is always ready to listen when on the carpet and she sets a good example to those around her. She tries her best in every lesson and never gives up when faced with a challenge.
This pupil has worked incredibly hard this year and the amount of house points she has earned reflects that. Well done to Lily F in 1A!
 
Lauren – Year 2
 
Year 2 are delighted to celebrate a child who truly goes over and above in all that they do.
They are the kind of pupil who brings sunshine into the classroom. With their positive attitude, polite manner and smiley, cheerful nature, they help to make our school a happier place every day.
They approach each task with determination and care, and their hardworking approach means that they always give their very best. They are also a wonderfully creative artist, producing lovely pieces of artwork that show both imagination and effort. There is real pride in the work they create and it is always a pleasure to see what they will make next.
Alongside all of this, they have a fantastic sense of humour and a lovely way of making others smile. They are always ready to help, whether that means asking to do a job, supporting someone with their learning or simply being a reliable and thoughtful member of the class. in fact, they have so consistently shown this helpful attitude that they have given themselves the title of "Miss Mannion's helper"!
 
We are incredibly proud of this person and the example they set for others. They show us what it means to be kind, helpful, cheerful and committed to doing the right thing. They truly deserve this award and we are so pleased to give Year 2's Over and Above award to Lauren! 
 
Elijah– Year 3
 
This year's Over and Above Award goes to a truly exceptional child who has touched the hearts of everyone in the Year 3 team. In fact, the decision was completely unanimous, which says everything about the wonderful person they are. Every single day, they arrive at school with a huge smile on their face and a positive attitude that brightens the classroom. Their cheeky personality, fantastic sense of humour and kind nature make them an absolute joy to be around; to teach and to top it off, they have a wonderful way of making others smile too.
Throughout the year, they have grown in confidence both inside and outside the classroom. They are a fantastic friend and an inspiring role model who lives our school values every single day. They are always willing to challenge themselves, try something new and give their very best, even when they find things difficult. Their resilience and perseverance have been truly inspiring, showing us all what can be achieved through determination, hard work and a positive mindset.
One of the most remarkable parts of their journey this year has been the enormous progress they have made in both reading and writing, which has been noticed by numerous staff members across the school. They have worked incredibly hard, embraced every opportunity to learn and should be immensely proud of everything they have achieved.
Watching this child grow has been a privilege, and we couldn't be prouder of the amazing young person they have become. They are a shining example of everything we hope our pupils will be, and it is with great pride that we present the Year 3 Over and Above Award to Elijah. Congratulations, you truly deserve it

Oakley – Year 4
 
When thinking about this award for the final time this year, there was one name which immediately came to the minds of the adults. Although I can almost guarantee this person won't think it's them! They have worked incredibly hard this year to improve their independence with their work as well as their academic process. They don't always find everything easy, but they try, show determination and ask for help when they need it. And as teachers, that is the biggest thing we ask. I have been particularly impressed with this persons reading progress, and seeing them share and enjoy more books with others in class. Who isn’t a Jamie Smart fan at the moment!? They can be a little cheeky at times(!) but they also know when enough is enough and bring their focus back to their learning. This person has a beautiful, infectious smile and you can't help but feel happy when you see it. They are also aware of others feelings, and on many occasions have recognised when a friend, and even staff, may not be feeling themselves, offering a kind word or a cuddle. This has helped this child to really expand their friendship group, and we love watching them play with a range of different people. We hope that receiving this award will help this person remember how wonderful, brilliant and kind they are, even when they don't realise it themselves.
 
Thank you for this year, and congratulations to Oakley. 
 
Grace – Year 5
 
The Over and Above Award goes to someone who has taught us all a very important lesson: that we are not defined by where we begin, but by the choices we make along the way.
They have been on an incredible journey over the past year. It has been a privilege to watch them grow into a young person who is thoughtful, reflective and deeply caring. The maturity they have shown has not happened by chance—it has come through listening, learning and making the conscious decision to become the very best version of themselves.
Today, this child is someone who quietly puts others first. They are the person who notices when someone needs help, who offers their time without expecting anything in return and who continues to show kindness, even when others may not always show the same kindness back. Time and time again, members of staff across the school have commented on their willingness to help and the genuine compassion they show towards others.
They have represented our school brilliantly as a committed member of the girls' football team, showing determination, resilience and outstanding teamwork. Their wonderful sense of humour fills those around them with laughter, while their enthusiasm for sharing their faith and the values that are important to them is both heartfelt and inspiring.
What has impressed us most as a team, however, is the courage this pupil has shown to grow. It takes strength to reflect on yourself. It takes character to accept advice. It takes resilience to make lasting changes, because of this, their attitude towards learning has flourished, their progress has accelerated and they have become someone that younger pupils and peers can look up to.
This award is not simply for what this person has achieved, but for the remarkable person they are becoming. They remind us that kindness, humility, perseverance and compassion are qualities that leave the greatest mark on the people around us.
It is with enormous pride that the Year 5 team want to present this term’s Over and Above Award to... Grace.
 
 Aida – Year 6A
 
The child who has been chosen for our End of Term Award in 6A truly embodies everything this award represents. From the moment the staff team began discussing potential recipients, their name stood out immediately and all of the 6A staff were in complete agreement that they are thoroughly deserving of this recognition.
This child consistently goes above and beyond in everything they do. They approach every day with positivity, determination and a genuine desire to do their very best. Their commitment to learning, their kindness towards others and their willingness to challenge themselves make them a wonderful role model within Year 6.
One of the most remarkable aspects of their journey this year has been the progress they have made in reading. They have developed a genuine passion for books and now eagerly share their thoughts and opinions about the stories and authors they enjoy. This love of reading has had a significant impact on their writing, which has flourished over the year. Equally impressive has been the transformation in their confidence within Maths. At the beginning of the year, they often doubted their abilities and were hesitant to contribute. However, through perseverance and hard work, they have developed into a confident mathematician who regularly shares their thinking and strategies with the class.
Beyond their academic achievements, this child brings something truly special to our classroom every single day. They have a wonderfully individual sense of humour and a fantastic ability to laugh at themselves, a quality that creates warmth and positivity wherever they go. Their humour often lightens the mood during difficult moments and reminds everyone around them to keep smiling and persevere. During our end of year production, The Wizard of Oz, this person developed their role with great character and humour, with some impeccable line delivery with expression and comic timing! We also cannot write about this child without referring to their love of fancy dress, especially an inflatable costume, which always makes an appearance on a non-uniform day…
Most importantly, she consistently demonstrates the values that are at the heart of our school. They are exceptionally kind, caring and considerate and are always looking out for others. She has gone over and above to help her friends and her loyalty, support and kindness has not gone unnoticed. We are incredibly proud of all she has achieved this year.
She should be immensely proud of herself for the growth, resilience and character she has shown. This award recognises not just her achievements, but the wonderful person she is and we could not think of a more deserving recipient for our 6A End of Term Award. The award for 6A goes to, Aida.
 
Anvika – Year 6B
 
The End of Term Award for 6B goes to someone who has consistently set exceptionally high standards throughout the year in Year 6. This student has truly demonstrated what it means to be an outstanding member of our school. In the classroom, every challenge has been approached with enthusiasm, determination and a genuine love of learning. A commitment to achieving the very best has been evident in everything undertaken, with work always completed to an exceptionally high standard.
What has been particularly impressive is that these same high standards have extended far beyond the classroom. Week after week, home learning has reflected the same dedication, care and pride. This outstanding effort and application led to selection to represent the school in the National Junior Maths Challenge with Mr Fell - a fantastic achievement.
This student has also embraced every opportunity to give back to our school community. Whether supporting our Reception children, carrying out librarian duties or collecting House Points, every responsibility has been fulfilled with maturity, kindness and reliability. Leading by example every single day, this pupil has embodied our school values through hard work, respect and a willingness to help others, always going above and beyond without seeking recognition. We hope this pupil recognises what a star she is because her efforts have certainly not gone unnoticed!
We are incredibly proud of all that she has achieved and have no doubt that she will continue to thrive as she begins the next exciting chapter at secondary school. Deservedly, the End of Term Award for 6B goes to... Anvika!
