Celebrating the Class of 2022

Wellacre welcomed the Class of 2022 alongside family and staff to recognise the achievements of our students during their time at school.

The annual Presentation Evening celebrates the whole year group and honours individual success not only with their GCSE certificates but also for those standing out in the classroom, on the field or on stage. 

The proceedings began with Head Boy George welcoming guests with a speech about the well deserved occasion of celebration for this year group, and the great sense of community and support that benefitted them at Wellacre.

  

Principal Mrs Sharrock said:

“We are delighted to welcome back and celebrate all who moved onto exciting pastures new in 2022. We are really proud of all they achieved with us; it is a culmination of five years of hard work and effective partnerships between home and school.”

  

Subject Awards were presented to students who either made the most progress in a subject, achieved the highest result in their year group or consistently went above and beyond in their subject.

The Governor’s Award - The Ambassador Cup - Harry Maher

The Governors presented Harry with The Governor’s Award for his exceptional efforts in  enhancing Wellacre’s reputation in the community.  As the only pupil from his primary school to join Wellacre, Harry took a key role as a Transition ambassador and was an excellent member of the Student Leadership Team carrying out a great deal of work in the community.

  

Principal’s Award - Adam Woodcock

The Principal’s Award goes to Adam for his outstanding contribution to Wellacre.  As a House Captain, Leading Hand in the CCF and then, Welllcre’s Head Boy,  Adam was committed to giving his time to Wellacre.  He took on a positive role in Transition and made sure all the new Year 7 students knew who their Head Boy was by attending Summer School during the holidays! 

Mrs Sharrock added:

“We wish all our Year 11 Class of 2022 the very best for the future.  We hope they exemplify the Wellacre values in all they do, strive to be the best version of themselves and go on to achieve success and fulfilment in their chosen field.”
