Alder Grange Newsletter

You may remember our past story about 18-year-old Alder Grange pupil Josh Simpson carrying the Olympic flame. 

Some of us thought it may be extinguished with the heavy rain, but he’s done it! 

He ran through Lancaster on 22nd June, and even donated his torch to the school afterwards. Mr Hulland and Mr Hampson nominated Josh after noticing how dedicated he was to sport and his local community.

A large amount of year 10s were rewarded on March 21st for their good attainment, effort, and improvement. 

So what was waiting for them when they arrived at AG+? Lots of free cakes, tea, coffee, and drinks! It was all part of an incentive introduced to reward students’ progress in school, avoiding their successes going unnoticed. After everything had been consumed, pupils were allowed to go into town early. 

It’s fair to say everyone enjoyed their reward, as proven by the pictures! Mrs Casement-Anderson said she was “extremely proud” of everyone, and Mrs Walmsley stated how “it was the first time Alder Grange has done something like this, and it will definitely be done again in the future”.
