Each pupil keeps one of the files within school, using it to record achievements such as first aid certificates, recognition of good work, and sporting achievements.

These files are presented to the pupils before they embark on study leave, and this year the honour fell to charity representative Alistair Bennett.

The event was attended by all of the school’s current year 12 and a number of parents and friends.
