Praise and Awards

Tony Russell was Deputy Head here for 21 years, from 1966 until 1987 when he retired. Unfortunately, he died during the summer holidays immediately after leaving school. His wife, Dot Russell, who also worked here as a secretary, set up this award as a way of remembering Tony. The Awards are presented annually to one student from each year group for exceptional achievement. Please note that this is not just for those students who have sat in class and not been a problem, but for anyone who has achieved over and above their call of duty or ability in any field. These achievements can be related to a number of areas, such as: Service to the College, academic excellence/effort/progress, sport, music, drama, etc. Whilst it is intended that recognition primarily be given to achievement within the college, efforts outside the college, such as service to the community, are also considered. Nominations for the award can come from all sections of the college including students, staff and parents. Nominations can be given to form tutors or subject staff who would then pass them to the appropriate Head of Year. The Head of Year then draws up a short list of students for consideration with a short report, indicating the areas of achievement. The recipients of the awards are decided by Mrs Russell.
