HALL OF CHAMPIONS
So what does a Champion in behaviour and learning look like at Farndon?
Dressed smartly, working hard and well behaved need not apply. That is our expected standard here at Farndon Primary School
To be a champion you have to be the best of the very best!
A Champion must go above and beyond every session everyday. A Champion has to show that they always adhere to our 3 rules - Ready - Respect - Safe.
They have to regularly show our school values in class and outside including kindness, responsibility, perseverance, friendship and creativity. And above all, in all lessons, they must show good learning attitudes from our secrets to personal growth such as trying new things, working well with others, improving work from feedback, working hard, pushing themselves and concentrating.
September 2025
At last - our first Champion nomination. It is our third "double" Champion Alfie Ward (Yr6). Since coming back in September, he has always been on time, shown an amazing attitude to his and is throwing himself into school life. Not only is he part of the Farndon News Crew, he also takes charge of the Farndon Garden watering it everyday. Well done Alfie - we could not be more proud of you.
October 2025
Alfie's time as Champion came to end and who did he hand the trophy to? His cousin - Brandon! Brandon was awarded Champion status due to a selfles act that helped one of his classmates. Some pupils were upset not to learn the violin, so Brandon offered to swap and agreed to learn the Celo. A wonderful gesture Brandon - well done.
Our next Champion - Oscar Ambrose from Year 6. He had never picked up a hockey stick in his life, yet he made it into the hockey team. And parents picked him out as one of the star players for his terrific attitude and work rate - he never gave up and loves representing his school.
Olivia Hughes - an Infant pupil at last. She was nominated by her class teacher for being such a wonderful friend and having a wonderful attitude to her learning in class.
November 2025
Ted Studley was nominated by a parent! Their child came home from a sports club saying that non of the boys were passing to the girls. That is until Ted got involved. He kept passing to all of his team mates and insisted that the boys should pass to the girls as well as the boys!
Our assembly team were trying to keep it under wraps when they saw the nomination - Edith Sheil. Her teacher nominated her for consistently being wonderful in class. She works so hard in all areas and is a worthy Champion!
Back to the Infants! William O'Brien. Such a true Champion in every sense of the word! So well behaved, kind and a wonderful friend. But he also works so hard in class and never fails to give 100%. Well done William.
December 2025
Our champion this week was Lottie Waters! Her teachers say she is a delight to have in class. She is always kind to others and she works hard all of the time. We are all so very proud of her.
January 2026
This person has joined an elite club - a double champion! Congratulations to Isaac Kirk who was nominated by another parent. They said that he has shown nothing but unwavering support and kindness to their buddy. He has been integral in helping for them to settle in Reception. Whenever he sees them out and about in the village, he always comes over and says hello. He is a credit to the school for his smile, demenour, politeness and kindness.
Our second champion of the new year is Lucy Goodfelllow. Her teachers said that she is a delight to have in Hedgehogs. She is a kind member of the class and helps others without even being asked. Lucy always completes her work and gives 100% all of the time.
We stay in the Infants for our third champion - Elias Ford. Another award for Elias after winning a Local Authority competiton to name one of the new road sweepers. An adult in school nominated him as he stopped to talk to them and asked if they had a nice Christmas. Before leaving, he wished them a happy new year. So mature, so kind and so friendly for such a young man in Reception - Elias we are really proud of you.
