Yesterday evening saw the second Graduation and Prizegiving Evening for our Year 5 and 6 children and their parents.  At St James’ we appreciate the huge significance of moving from primary to secondary school and mark it each year by saying a formal farewell to the children in the presence of their parents and the children in Year 5. 

Each of the Year 6 children received their ‘moment in the spotlight’, hearing a citation – an appreciation of all they have become and achieved – read by Mr Gallop.  They also received a gift from the school – a superb Cerutti 1881 roller ball pen in a beautiful case, engraved with the words ‘St James’ 2010’. These are generously provided by the SJA.  We also take this opportunity to welcome Year 5 children into Year 6 with the joys, privileges and responsibilities that this involves.

We also present a number of prizes in such categories as academic achievement, academic progress, creativity, sportsmanship, determination and citizenship.  There is also a prize for citizenship for Year 5 children.

This year’s winners (including names of sponsors and criteria for winning) are set out below.
