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.
