The November Jack Petchey award was given out this week to a Year 10 student who has turned over a new leaf and made real progress in school.

14 year old Daniel Barimah who is in 10 Wall was nominated by Mr McCormack as he had noticed how he had matured recently and had a real epiphany when it came to his studies.

Mr McCormack went on to explain: ” He now has 100% attendance and is getting brilliant reports from his teachers.  His confidence has grown and he is happier and proving to be an excellent student and role model now.  I am so happy to see this change in attitude and I always knew he had it in him. I hope this award gives him the boost he needs to continue on this path.”

Daniel will now decide how to spend his £250  prize money.
