Commendations
If you are in the middle school you
get awards called commendation for
good work. You should collect these
and show them to your tutor who
will keep a record. Once you have
gained a certain number then you
will get an award from Mr Davies
(usually sweets or chocolate).
Housemaster’s Praise
If you do something really good,
either in your academic work, “other
half” or social activities, you may be
given a Housemaster’s Praise. This
is awarded to you by Mr Davies at
House assembly and is something to
be very proud of.
Head’s Praise
For outstanding contributions to the
school you can be given a Head’s
Praise. This means that the Head
will see you personally in her office
to say well done. This is a very
prestigious award.
How will my
achievements be
recognised?
Blue Buffalo House Hero
Awards
If you demonstrated a clear
commitment to one or all of the
house characteristics (Passion,
Generosity, Honesty, Courage and
Imagination) the Mr Davies might
decide to give you a Blue Buffalo
House Hero trophy. These are
very difficult to get and are very
prestigious. Your picture goes up on
a special board in the house and the
prize is awarded at House Assembly.
Special Prizes
Every year at a prize giving ceremony
at the end of the summer term
special prizes are given to boys
who have contributed a great deal
to the school. There are prizes for
academic work, sports, services,
societies, leadership and many other
things. These prizes only go to boys
who have been exceptional in their
contribution. If you get one of these
you have done very well indeed.
