Several students were awarded prizes for outstanding work in individual subjects including Breeze Sweetman who did particularly well in achieving the awards for Biology, Business Studies, Humanities and Spanish.

Christian Finn and Skye Wilson were commended for their fantastic achievement of 100% attendance for each of the five years spent at Wardle Academy.
