Would you let your child’s school know if they achieved an award?

My child’s school says they like to know but is there any point in letting them know?
My dc has achieved a Duke of Edinburgh award, outside of school as they don’t run it. I’m very proud of him and I partly want to let the school know but I’m also thinking is there any point?
It’s just me showing him off really, isn’t it? They probably wouldn’t really care.

It might help the school to have a record of things like this for his UCAS reference (if he decides to apply)?

We didn't tell the school when DD got picked for England - they have shown little interest in her sport and are only really concerned about hockey and netball and post pics on twitter and in the school magazine when girls are selected for the county. They read about DD being selected for England in the local paper. Irritates me that they aren't interested in anything other than the sports that the school runs teams in.

I would let them know. It is nice to celebrate things
