A huge well done and congratulations to our Jack Petchey winners for the Spring Term.

Eliza M, Year 7 – Eliza is an amazing student who is wise beyond her years, she loves helping others and goes out of her way to assist. She has in-depth knowledge of materials, being able to answer GCSE level questions about Timbers, she is always engaged in her DT classes, and we can always rely on her for the correct answer. Eliza is respectful, self-reliant, and always kind; she is the perfect student to win this prize.

Bethany H and Lottie S, Year 8 – Bethany and Lottie are hard-working students who have raised £865 for the Teenage Cancer Trust. They will be training and participating in a 5K park run on the 2nd of March at Banstead Woods. The money that they raise will go towards specialised nursing care and support for these teenagers and in addition, will also go towards fun events such as pizza nights, ice cream nights, movie nights and many more.

Huseyin T, Year 9 – Huseyin puts a lot of time and energy into basketball outside of school, turning up for training and matches as often as possible, and only missing them through injury. He is a natural leader and valued member of the Debate Team. His dedication and willingness to compete at a very high level should be acknowledged.

Annalise E, Year 10 – Annalise stands out for her exceptional dedication and talent, not only in her academic pursuits but also in her extracurricular engagements.

In both arenas, her commitment to excellence and meticulous attention to detail have set her apart. Her contributions not only enrich the school community but also serve as an inspiration to her fellow students. With her unwavering dedication and remarkable talents, Annalise continues to leave a lasting impact on those around her.
