Prize Giving Celebrates Pupils' Achievements

Prize Giving at Crackley Hall is the culmination of the academic year. It is a chance to reflect, a chance to celebrate and a chance to give thanks. 

Crackley was delighted to welcome a number of special guests to the celebrations, including Chair of Trustees, Liz Griffin and, in the evening, Foundation Principal, Ed Hester.

Headmaster, Mr Duigan, gave a thought-provoking speech. He gave thanks to the many who give so much to the school in so many ways. He challenged every boy and every girl to wake up every day and do something different. He reminded pupils that those who succeed have to be brave enough to fail. He encouraged all the children to strive to do their best, to live in the moment, never limit themselves and to celebrate the success of others.

Crackley Hall’s pupil leaders gave their reports speaking movingly about their time in office and their Crackley journeys, and the memories and friends they will take with them as they move on to secondary school.

And then there were the awards, book awards for progress, effort and diligence, school spirit and kindness, contribution to school life and achievement. Followed by cups and shields and trophies galore, all recognising the diligence, effort and excellence that abounds at Crackley Hall.

As the ceremonies concluded, all Crackley pupils were encouraged to reflect on their achievements this year, as prize winner or not, all should be rightfully proud.
