Pupils of the Month - is it you?

This year, the English department is running a pupil of the month reward system. This is to recognize and reward the outstanding work that goes on on a daily basis from a significant amount of our students. Sometimes, we are so blown away by the outstanding nature of their effort, homework, classwork, engagement, that we want to shout about it from the roof tops.


So, every month, we will share these students, and if we can, photographs of their work, to celebrate their successes. Each student's reason for winning will also be explained.


Without further ado, here are our September winners!

Year 7 –  Lucy Andrews.

Lucy always shows exceptional effort in lessons and  her class contributions have been consistently outstanding since the start of term. Superb! Well done, Lucy, and keep up the great work!

 

Year 8 was just too difficult for use to decide! Having looked at positive behavior points for the 2 students, we found them neck and neck. Therefore, both of them are declared our winners! In no particular order, we have Mimi Cook for outstanding homework, effort in class, attitude to learning. We also have Matthew Smith, again, for outstanding homeworks in English. Well done to both students - we hope you continue with this excellent work!

 

Year 9 - Katie Beresford 
Katie has been given this aware for great effort in reading Lennie’s part with emotion. For those of you that have read Of Mice and Men, you'll realize the significance of the emotions portrayed through Lennie's character. Katie did an excellent job of portraying this and showed herself to have a real talent for speaking.

 

Year 10 - Nathan Shaw.
Nathan has made an excellent start to his GCSE English studies. Each piece of work has shown that he has put in lots of effort, and also that he is making excellent progress as a result. Well done Nathan, and keep up the excellent work.

 

Year 11 - Tom Goode.
Tom never ceases to amaze his English teacher, Miss Forrester. Tom's effort and work outside of school is truly outstanding and as a result of this, Tom is making huge steps in progress. Indeed, he is out performing his target grades by around 2 grades. Tom's absolute dedication to his own achievement is inspiring to all. Keep up the hard work Tom - it's really paying off!

 

Year 12 – Ella Curzon.
Ella has been recognized for her excellent homeworks as she begins her journey into A Level English. This is an integral part of achieving success at A Level, and it's brilliant to see Ella doing it so brilliantly!

 

Year 13 - Alex Milburn.

Alex has made huge improvements to organization. This has made a huge impact and Alex is now making increased progress as a direct result of this, well done!

These are just some of our truly outstanding and inspiring students at Cockermouth School. Over the coming months, we will continue to share the outstanding work of our students. For those of you that have narrowly missed out, this is your chance to work even harder, push yourself, and make sure that you are next month's English Student of the Month!

Good luck, and keep learning!

The English Department.
