Headteacher’s values award winner: Rhys Dowse

The Headteacher’s Values Award was presented to Rhys Dowse, Year 8.  Rhys was nominated by Ms Lark, who said: “Rhys has worked hard and remained focused in every single English lesson since September. He always pushes himself to complete all the challenges and never gives up. During a mid-October visit to the school library he was interested in selecting a book called the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness by Michelle Paver but was a little daunted by the length (794). I set Rhys the challenge of taking out the book and completing it within a month. Rhys rose to the challenge and worked his way through all 794 pages three days before the deadline. I was over the moon at his achievement. He has shown fantastic resilience in completing this reading challenge.”
