THE PRIZES Almost all of the prizes awarded will be in the form of books. Each book contains a bookplate giving the basis for the award and is signed by the Chairman of The Gordon Foundation. Prizes awarded this afternoon fall into one of three broad categories: Form prizes, subject and specialism prizes, and character development or leadership awards. The Form prizes are awarded for effort and attitude. Subject prizes are awarded for academic excellence in a particular subject area. The development and leadership awards take into account the development of strengths and character of a student or recognise a level of leadership shown during the course of the year.
The Gordon Medal The Gordon Medal is now awarded to the Head Boy and Head Girl every year. In addition, the Medal is awarded to the Pipe Major and Drum Major in recognition of services to the Pipes and Drums, and to each House Captain in recognition of services to marching and parades.
The Higginson Medal The Higginson Medal is awarded to the School Sargeant Major and Colour Sargeant each year.
The Headmaster’s Award The Headmaster’s Award, nominated by staff, is for students who have demonstrated excellence in one or more ways which we feel should be recognised by the school. This could be for a student who has contributed a great deal to the school over the past year, or one who has made progress in spite of coping with difficulties/setbacks. It could be for a student who has developed personally or socially or one who is perceived to be outstanding in one or more fields.
Honours Programme The programme seeks to promote Gordon’s five character values by rewarding hard work, service and personal leadership through service and participation in a diverse range of activities across the school, whether inside or outside the classroom.
Leadership Awards At Gordon’s we set great store in serving those around us through accomplished leadership. Leadership prizes are awarded at the discretion of the Head Teacher to students who distinguish themselves as emerging leaders through their values, example, inspiration and actions, particularly in achieving things either within or beyond the school that wouldn’t have happened otherwise.
