Awards & achievements

This page celebrates awards, accreditations and achievements that recognise the success of our pupils. Whether achieved individually, as part of a group, or through school-wide provision, these awards reflect the progress, effort and achievements of our pupils.

The GREAT Oscars

Each year, Queen’s Croft High School celebrates pupil achievement through the GREAT Oscars, a formal awards event held at a local theatre. These awards recognise progress, effort and achievement across our GREAT curriculum, celebrating pupils from across the school community in a meaningful and inclusive way.
