The Fernwood Award

 

The Fernwood Award is a voluntary, non-competitive programme designed to encourage students to develop their wider skills and participate in diverse activities.

There are five progressive levels of the programme which when successfully completed lead to a Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum or Head Teacher's Award.

Students are credited through the normal school rewards system and enhance this through their involvement in opportunities & challenges provided in school and beyond.

The Award is divided into 6 categories. Students have to successfully acquire points in all categories and a grand points total to achieve the award.

The award shows a willingness for individuals to go “the extra mile” to become Successful Learners, Confident Individuals and Responsible Citizens.

Students are awarded in recognition of their active engagement and endeavour to promote their personal development, learning and contribution to the care of others and the world around them.

Point thresholds for each award are shown below. 

 

Participants in the award develop new skills, broader life experiences and a wide range of personal attributes which will stand them in good stead for the rest of their lives. The award demonstrates to future employers and educational institutions that the awardee has a balanced all-round skills-set and competencies to complement formal academic qualifications.
