Awards & Celebrations
Commendation Book
Students are invited to the Head's office to sign the Commendation Book to celebrate achievement both in and out of school.
Postcards Home
Praise postcards are sent by teachers to celebrate students hard work, overcoming an issue, or for doing something exceptional.
House postcards are sent by Heads of House for excellent trackers or for just being awesome.
Teachers and departments have their own postcards and are sent in recognition of excellent work or participation during lesson time.
Tring School are huge supporters of acknowledging students for their hard work, active citizenship, or acts of showing determination and kindness.
Pride of Tring School End of Year Awards
Over 250 students will have been selected across all years for attainment or effort in a subject. There are also Special Awards that recognise achievement in a number of specialist areas together with a Heads of House Award for the student who has made an outstanding contribution. Parents are invited to see their child collect an award.
Year 11 GCSE Presentation Evening
Students from the previous Year 11 are invited back in November to receive their GCSE Certificates. Parents are invited to this informal event which provides an opportunity to meet friends who have perhaps moved on to apprenticeships or college.
Year 13 Achievement Wall
The Achievement Wall was the idea of Head Boy Max Baiden in 2011, to recognise Year 13 students for their work within the school and wider community. Over the years more and more plaques accrue, which creates a lasting reminder of students who have made a positive contribution to our Sixth Form. This has, no doubt, inspired many students since its inception and will continue to do so in the future.
Sixth Form Alumni Event
Students from the previous year are invited back in December to engage with an alumni event. This is an opportunity for them to talk to our current year 12 students about their post 18 choices and discuss where these choices have led them. After the event, we have coffee and pastries with the students' former teachers and students can collect their A level certificates.
Art & Photography SHOW
GCSE and A Level exam pieces are on display for the examiners, then the Art Department opens their doors for the general public to come and see the fantastic work the students have prepared for their exams.
Sports Awards Evening
This is an opportunity to celebrate the sporting successes of the year and to thank the students for their hard work and commitment. Students from Years 7-10 and their parents are invited to the evening to receive awards and trophies and to listen to a guest speaker.
End of Year Assembly
The one time in the school year when all our students gather together in the Desborough Hall for a review and celebrate the year. Staff and student achievements and service are recognised and farewells said to colleagues moving on.
Collective Worship
House Collective Worships are held weekly and at the end of each term, there is a House Celebration devoted to recognising the achievements of hundreds of students throughout the term.
