St John's Virtue Awards 2026

St John’s Catholic School & Sixth Form proudly hosted its third annual Virtue Awards Evening on Thursday 26th June, recognising and celebrating the outstanding character of its students in a heartwarming and inspiring event. The awards evening honoured students for demonstrating key virtues at the heart of the school community, including respect, compassion, resilience, justice, honesty, self-belief, responsibility and confidence. In a unique and inclusive approach, every student in attendance received an award, reinforcing the school’s commitment to celebrating young people for who they are, not solely their academic achievements. In addition to the main virtue awards, several prestigious honours were presented. These included the Key Stage 4 and Key Stage 5 Eagle Awards, recognising students who exemplify all of the school’s core virtues and serve as exceptional role models. Special awards were also presented, including the Bishop Kevin Dunn Award, Community Angel Award, Sara Davies Award for Creativity and Innovation, and the Leo Robinson Award, each acknowledging remarkable contributions to school and their wider community. The evening was made even more special by the presence of Sara Davies MBE, entrepreneur and former St John’s student, who attended as guest of honour.
