Student Leadership

School Colours 

When students are recognised as role models for the consistent demonstration of the school values they can request to be considered for the School Colours Award. This can be a self-nomination made in writing or a nomination from their Form Tutor. The Senior Leadership Team will consider all nominations for School Colours.

If successful, students will be awarded a new tie showing all of the House colours (replacing the single colour they wear normally) to indicate the higher level status of their achievement. They also get a certificate and their name on the Honours Board in the main corridor.
