Dear Parents of Year 11 Students
The Awards Evening and Valediction Ceremony for our Year 11 students will take place on Thursday 2nd May 2024 at 6.00pm prompt. On the occasion of the Valedictory Celebration, all Year 11 students are hereby invited to join together to celebrate their five years at The St Lawrence Academy. We know this will be a memorable and enjoyable event which all students are invited to attend. Students who are receiving an award will have the opportunity to invite 2 members of their family to attend this event, a personalised invite to confirm you and your family’s attendance will be sent at a later date.
The awards are mainly of an academic nature and are based on the final teacher assessment grades and completed modular examinations as well as the top achiever in each subject being awarded with a subject trophy.

- ATL Trophy: Prefectship. This is awarded to students who have demonstrated roles of Leadership.
