Sir John Moores’ Award

Jack Woodall, a Year 11 student, has won the Sir John Moores’ Award for personal progress in Enterprise for the North West region.

He is the second student from Oulder Hill to achieve this award. Lady Grantchester, the daughter of Sir John Moores, set up the fund in memory of her father to recognise the Special Achievements of Team Programme students.

This award is presented on an annual basis in each English region and Wales to the Team Programme student who has made the most progress and shown the most improvement through their participation in the programme.

As winner of the award, Jack will receive a cheque for £100 and a certificate, which will be presented at the regional final. Well done Jack!

GCSE exams

GCSE exams are well underway, and students have been working hard in the run up to the exams, with some attending revision classes during the school holidays. Students in all year groups are currently preparing for the Internal Exam week, commencing on Monday 15 June. Please encourage your child(ren) to prepare thoroughly for these exams, as they are good practice for future GCSE examinations.
