Four ambitious students from The Priory Ruskin Academy have become the first students in the country to achieve the National Baccalaureate at KS3. Kaan Yaldiz (Y8), Ciara North (Y8), Emily Hollis (Y8) and Martha Bensley (Y7) (pictured front L-R) have demonstrated complete commitment to their studies, the academy and wider community through the achievement of their ‘Ruskin Respect Awards’, an award scheme developed by the Academy that recognises students that go the extra mile in 5 key areas: Aiming High, Learning, Health, Community and Creativity. In addition to their exceptional participation and achievement in the Ruskin Respect Awards the students have also undertaken an independent learning project, which was presented to a panel, and completed a ‘reading passport’, demonstrating they have engaged in a wider reading programme.

Year 8 and 9 students have had an amazing afternoon in the company of Nikki Sheehan, author of Who Framed Klaris Cliff and Swan Boy.
