ALCUIN SCHOOL RECOGNISES PUPIL’S OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTION

In recognition of her outstanding contribution to the school, Alcuin School pupil Rosie Wormald has been presented with an award by well respected Leeds musician and conductor, Dr Simon Lindley at the school’s annual prizegiving.
The school holds an annual prizegiving in which it recognises the individual achievements of pupils and the qualities they have displayed during the course of the academic year. Dr Lindley has a long standing connection with the school because of its interest in the arts and music and was asked to present the prizes at this year’s awards.
Year six pupil Rosie Wormald was selected for the Outstanding Contribution to the School Award because of her commitment to the school and enthusiastic involvement in all aspects of school life. In the last twelve months Rosie has captained the school netball team, represented the school in cross country, athletics and Under 11’s chess competitions. In addition to this Rosie was highly commended for her support of her friend, Abigail Langstaff, during her recent battle with Leukaemia.
The prizegiving evening was also an opportunity to celebrate the success of the school’s recent Ofsted report and victories in the UK Chess Challenge which were all commended by Dr Lindley. Dr Lindley also had particular praise for the children’s musical capabilities and the school orchestra.

John Hipshon, Headteacher at The Alcuin School, said: “Our prizegiving evening was an excellent way to draw the term to a close and we were delighted to have Dr Lindley oversee the event. We are extremely proud of Rosie and we feel it is important to recognise our pupil’s strengths and achievements.”
