Celebrating individual successes is an integral aspect of life at TBGS. In usual times, we would invite students and parents to Celebration Evenings; however, due to coronavirus restrictions, our celebrations took a different format this year, with gatherings in November for Upper-School Students, during morning registration.
Students in last year’s 11 and 12 were awarded in a number of categories. Firstly, students were awarded specially selected book prizes chosen by Heads of Department and kindly sponsored by Wollens. Glass keepsake paperweights, designed by OurGlass, Cockington, were awarded for all-round progress by the end of year 11, or for excellence and contribution in the sixth form. We also awarded our special school-prizes, including Drama, Musician of the Year, and Triumph over Adversity.
The morning gatherings with years 11 and 12 complete our celebrations for academic year 2019-20, following similar events for the lower school. In all, nearly 200 students have been awarded prizes, a testament to their continued dedication and determination to succeed, despite the unusual challenges faced through the past year.
