Values Awards

We believe in recognising and celebrating achievement. At Stafford Grammar School, we not only celebrate academic achievements, but we believe in recognising those pupils who get involved and embrace the spirit of the school. 

Headmaster's Commendations

The aim of the Headmaster’s Commendations is to recognise and reward outstanding contribution to the life of the school and beyond. 

Headmaster’s Commendations are awards bestowed upon pupils (and sometimes staff too) who do something quite exceptional, often unexpectedly, in any sphere of school life and beyond.

Headmaster’s Commendations have been awarded to:

Values Awards

Values Awards are the highest level of recognition given by the school. They recognise outstanding contribution and reward pupils who uphold, embrace and embody the School Values of:

• Excellence
• Courage
• Respect
• Compassion

They are achieved by accumulating House Points, and Headmaster’s Commendations.
