All-Rounder Awards

Both the application form and the reports requested from the Heads of Schools will provide the opportunity for candidates to demonstrate achievements in one or more of the above areas.
All Scholarships and Awards will be reviewed annually in the light of the recipients’ attitude, effort and behaviour. It is a condition of all Awards at CLFS that pupils and their parents are supportive of the School’s policies and procedures.
The names of pupils awarded Scholarship and Exhibitions will be listed in the “Record of Achievements and Activities” published on Prize Day in the same year as the awards are made.
