Annabelle always creates a caring community by being a kind and loving friend to all. At lunchtimes, staff have said how forgiving she is and is always looking for positive solutions to ensure that peace is restored. She shows her love for all, by being a supportive, nurturing friend in class. Annabelle is a role model for all.
Key Stage 2
Aoife
Aoife is always kind and positive, both inside and outside of the classroom.
On several occasions, she has been seen including children outside of her usual friendship group in her play. She is polite and generous towards everyone. In spring term, it was noticed that Aoife had had a haircut . When asked about why she had decided to do it - she just smiled but it was later found out that she had donated her locks to The Princess Trust. She truly is a humble young person who deserves to be recognised for her kindness and generosity.
Eoin (Year 6)
Eoin is a true peace-maker- he always shows compassion for others. When someone is struggling or getting frustrated, he will be seen as the child who goes over and helps calm things down. He is patient and approachable and other children respond very well to him. Whenever there is someone in need in our school, Eoin can be relied upon to be the source of help. His charity event was well thought out, showing he considers the needs of others. He truly reflects Franciscan values.

Key Stage 1
Havanna
Havanna is the first to look after someone if they are hurt or upset. She always waits for others to have the resources in class before she does. She has also given up her turn to do certain things, in order to let others go first. She willingly swaps her snack if someone prefers the fruit she has, without a seconds thought. She is a great example of being kind and loving to all.
Key Stage 2
Natalia
For showing outstanding kindness when a member of the class was recovering from an operation. We had an author visit our school, and knowing that the child absent would have loved to attend, she bought a second copy of the book for him and got it signed.
