Just wondering what other schools do....
DS has just left his High School and moved to a different sixth form; likewise a handful of his friends have. As far as I can tell, it seems that these kids have been excluded from getting any prizes for academic achievement at GCSE including the highest performing student in the year (not my DS!). I know that the academic prizes are often given for students who have well exceeded expectations and not necessarily the high grade achievers but at some point surely there needs to be some recognition for someone actually achieving better than the rest? It would be wrong for the same kids to always get the prizes if they execlled at something. I do get that, but sometimes these kids miss out completely and I don't think they should.
So, my question is this.... do other schools recognise students who have already left the school or do they give prizes only to whom they deem suitable from those remaining at the school?
