Congratulations to the winners:
- Lily-Ann Brockman, Marine Academy Primary
Lily-Ann is a remarkable young lady; she maintains the highest standards of attendance, behaviour and empathy for others. Lily-Ann goes above and beyond through her sustained fundraising for Cancer Research UK.

She is an extremely selfless individual, who always places the needs and interests of others before her own. Lily-Ann is a wonderful inspiration, who epitomises the school motto of 'Work hard, be kind and amazing things will happen'.
- Morgan Carver, Isca Academy
What distinguishes Morgan is not only his academic prowess but also his relentless determination to succeed. He epitomises our school's core value of ‘success.’ Morgan's journey to excellence is a testament to his hard work, resilience, and the courage to aim for the highest standards. His achievements serve as an inspiration to his peers, showcasing that with diligence and a clear sense of purpose, one can reach the pinnacle of success in their academic pursuits. However, Morgan's aspirations extend beyond the classroom. He strives to create a better community and a brighter future for all. Community lies at the heart of our school, and Morgan Carver wholeheartedly embraces this core value.
- Ved Jan Kumar, St James School
Academically, Ved out-performed every prior student who has ever attended the school but he balanced his academics with strong moral and cultural leadership.Ved left no opportunity for learning, engagement, kindness, collaboration or selflessness unfulfilled, as demonstrated by his response to the Ukranian refugee crisis. He supported the charitable efforts to send aid and he set himself the task of learning Russian so that he would be able to communicate with and translate for our refugee students and lead tours for their families - in Russian. The welcome these families felt was tangible.
Ved is not only an remarkable student; he is also a remarkable human being.
- Manroop Singh, Whipton Barton Federation
Manroop embodies the values of Whipton Barton Federation through his relentless ambition and drive to succeed in all aspects of his education. With his conscientious attitude, naturally inquisitive nature and his love of learning, Manroop grabs all opportunities to learn and expand his knowledge of the world. With his attendance far exceeding the national average, Manroop is a true role model to all, encouraging other children to be successful, brave and to embrace their individuality. With his fantastic attitude towards his education alongside his passion for playing cricket and helping others, there is no doubt that Manroop will be successful in achieving his ambitions.
