Year 11 pupils marked an important milestone this week as they took part in their final Achievement Assembly at Pleckgate High School, celebrating their hard work, resilience and successes as a year group.
Head of Year, Mrs Ryding, reflected on the significance of the occasion, saying: “This is a special milestone as it is the last achievement assembly for Year 11 at Pleckgate. That makes these awards even more meaningful, as we recognise everything you have achieved during your time here.”
Mrs Robinson added: “This is the perfect way to end the term. It is a huge achievement to receive an award and be recognised in front of your peers; you should all feel incredibly proud.”
To conclude the week of assemblies, the final attendance prize draw celebrated those pupils who have shown commitment to attending school. A significant number of pupils gained 100% Attendance this term, a fantastic accomplishment. From this group, Hasiba was randomly selected as the prize winner.
The weekly attendance award was also presented to Ali. This award recognises pupils who attend school every week, with their names entered a prize draw each time they achieve a full week. The more consistent their attendance, the greater their chances of being selected, rewarding dedication and commitment over time.
Achievement points were also celebrated, with bronze, silver and gold awards recognising pupils who have consistently demonstrated effort and excellence across their subjects. Congratulations to Saaqib, Zakariya, Ayaan, Maleeha, Rayan and Juwariya for achieving the highest number of points in the year group.
The Best Tutor Group award was presented to 11MNI. Mrs Ryding praised the group for their remarkable improvement, explaining that although attendance had previously been a challenge, this term they showed real determination to improve and achieved the highest attendance in the year group, a significant and commendable effort.
Awards for Best Effort in Tutor Groups, selected by Mrs Ryding and Mrs Patel, were presented to Zakariyah, Owais, Syed, Ehsan, Aminah, Fatima, Aisha, Aleesha, Uwais and Iqra for their consistent effort and positive contributions.
Subject awards were also distributed, with Heads of Department recognising pupils across each GCSE subject for their hard work, progress and determination throughout the term.
The Headteacher’s Award was presented to Areesha for her unwavering determination, resilience and ability to overcome challenges while continuing to make progress, a truly inspiring example to others.
