Calderstones celebrate awards evening

Each year Calderstones School celebrate the achievements of their pupils at their annual awards ceremony.

On each occasion they invite a guest speaker to present the awards and address the audience of pupils, parents, teachers and school governors. This year’s guest speakers for the evening were Richard   Thompson, headteacher of Booker Avenue Junior School and Kath Wyke who works for Career Connect.
Over 100 pupils from each year group were invited to receive awards for attainment, diligence, academic, sporting or music success. Following the sad loss of former pupil and professional footballer, Zoe Tynan over the summer, the school posthumously awarded The Kelly Spurgeon Award to Zoe, the award was presented for her outstanding services to the school.

The school is also supporting a number of initiatives such as the Alzheimer’s Society to help raise awareness and money for causes that Zoe supported and over £500 was raised on the night.
