Successful students have been celebrated at an Egremont academy's rewards day.

West Lakes Academy pupils can earn reward points from their teachers linked to one of the academy’s student values, which are respect, resilience, appreciation, freedom and achievement.

The top five per cent of students from each year group, for each value, were invited to the celebration event.

Rewards lead Holly Donaldson said: “Throughout the year we hold mini reward days at the end of each term so that students have an event to focus on and are motivated to succeed across the academy’s five values.

"Students loved celebrating with their peers in our performance hall, which was decorated for the event with music from Joe Alderson, Christina Smith, Theo Ancell and Chloe Robinson.

"We are looking forwards to the Easter event so that students can see their achievements being recognised by the academy again.”

Students were presented with certificates and enjoyed Christmas themed cakes and festive treats.

At the end of each celebration assembly the top performing students for each value were presented with an academy rewards badge.

Among the top performers on the day was Year 11 student Ethan Asbridge, who received awards for three out of the five value categories and best in year 11 for those values.
