On Monday 18th July we held a celebratory assembly for our year 10s who took part in the 50 Mile Walk!
Each year the team of staff working throughout the day nominate their selections to be awarded the Ian Carr Memorial Trophy. The trophy is given to a pupil or pupils who have shown tremendous resolve, energy, attitude, commitment and against all the odds sometimes a great will to succeed.
When coming to discuss possible nominees for this year’s award there were several positive tales. Alicia M for spending most of the day just knocking off the laps on her own. Ellie D for giving up and then deciding to come back and complete the whole 50 miles and Zack S for the perseverance to keep going and complete the full distance in the very early hours. Hannah D who found a second and third wind and a load of determination to finish. Lewis S for quietly getting the job done.
This year, however, there were joint recipients of the trophy for 2022 which was almost unanimous choices from the staff. One student who showed a positive attitude with politeness and a smile for (most of) the day and insisted on having their finishing photo taken with another student as they’d done so many laps together. The second who battled on without much complaining until they completed the full distance.
The recipients of the Ian Carr 50 Mile Walk Memorial Trophy for 2022 were Caelan S and Keighley H. Well done!
Congratulations to everyone who took part!
