KNOX Academy pupils again have the chance to wear special ties to recognise their prowess.
New ties were designed last year and awarded to pupils for a high level of commitment and endeavour in an activity or for a significant achievement, such as winning a national award.
Sue Cook, headteacher, said the achievement committee would meet twice a year, in October and March, to decide the new recipients.
She said: “Achievement ties can be awarded for sport, citizenship (when a young person provides support or services to the local or wider community e.g. working in charity shops/volunteering etc.), enterprise (involved in leading initiatives/global areas of interest e.g. eco-committee, amnesty, fairtrade etc.) and expressive arts/technologies.
“There will also be a further category, ‘other’, for anyone wishing to be considered for an achievement tie that does not fall into the previous four categories.”
Nominations are now open.
