Ds's prize giving last week, with about 40 prizes given out in each year group. He is year 7.
He didn't get one, which is fair enough. There are 160 boys in the year. He works hard, gets excellent marks, behaviour exemplary, has achieved maximum number of merits possible in the year etc. He captains the cricket team, played in the football team which won the borough and county cup. It is a particularly high achieving year of boys according to the head of year. ( and is an ordinary boys comp, which has gone through a difficult time but is now on the up)
But some boys got upwards of 3 awards.....one boy got 7.
I just feel that's not particularly fair......he is a bit quiet about it, as he was the only one of his friends not to get something. What do you think?
