The latest batch of star pupils were celebrated at Penryn College's recent Achievements' Evening.

Students were invited into the school to be recognised for recent achievements in a variety of fields covering school life. The criteria this year has become even tougher to scoop an award, with students identified as "the best of the best" that contribute to every facet of school life, but especially academically.

The categories included best academic progress at both Key Stage three and Key Stage four, best reports, most achievement points. Of the four houses - Arwenack, Gluvias, Killigrew and Pendennis - students who had the most positive contribution were recognised and each head of house nominated one student who stood out the most.

Elsewhere there were other awards for the anti-bullying team, who provide a drop in service for their fellow peers to help with any bullying issues they may be experiencing, and the phonics team. The phonics team also work with their fellow classmates to help improve their literacy skills on a weekly basis, working on reading, writing, spelling and grammar. The next set of awards will be presented in July.
