Commemoration Event for Wellacre Leavers

Wellacre’s annual event to celebrate Wellacre leavers brought together the class of 2021 students, families, staff and governors. 

 

We welcomed everyone to receive their awards for GCSE and academic excellence, as well as personal achievement.

Principal, Mrs Sharrock, and Vice Principal, Mr Pemberton, presented students with their awards, trophies and shields, and delighted in hearing of their progress in higher education and training.  Adam and Michael, Head Boy and Deputy Head Boy, also attended to join in the celebrations. 

Mrs Sharrock said

“It was wonderful to see the boys back at Wellacre, alongside their families, and to hear parents’ appreciation for all the work staff do and the opportunities that Wellacre has provided for them. We are so proud of everything the Class of 2021 have achieved and how they are embracing opportunities for the future.”

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.
