As the end of the spring term approached and we are all looking forward to the spring break, it was time to celebrate the achievements of our students in a series of special year group assemblies.

The special Head of Year award.

There were the usual well earnt certificates for 100% Attendance, which came with a special enamelled badge, plus recognition for those only missing the magic 100% mark through an absence of just a single day of school.

Certificates and Chocolate - a winning combo!

'Keys For Success' metal key badges and certificates were also awarded to those who'd reached either the bronze, silver or gold points thresholds.

Special Awards

Just a single student in each year group found themselves the proud recipient of this term's Principal's Award, along with a rare Gold Canons badge.

One other student similarly found themselves receiving the Head of Year award, also accompanied by a gold badge.

A smaller number of other special certificates for other events and achievements were also handed out, including from several maths competitions our students had represented Canons at and Jack Petchey awards.

Special Thanks

Very special thanks must go to everyone who helped at the celebration assemblies, particularly to Mr A Litchfield who led them each day, but also especially to Ms S Varsani and Ms P Pandya, our KS3 and KS4 Student Support champions, along with Ms N Raja and Ms M Lidington, their Student Services colleagues. They laid out and prepared everything in the Hall ready for the assemblies early each morning. Certificates, badges, lists, timetables and the all important chocolate bars! 

But extra special thanks must be given to Mrs S Rawlings from our Media Resources Team.
She coordinated the materials needed for the assemblies, gathering data, overseeing the printing of hundreds of certificates, checking names and figures, counting out badges as well as creating the massive PowerPoint slide presentations which ran on the big screens during the assemblies.

She double checked everything before each assembly to ensure they all went smoothly, which they did.  Good job.
