Headteacher Julie O’Connor welcomed the audience at Dowdales School’s annual prize-giving ceremony and reflected on a year of success.

In her address Mrs O’Connor described Dowdales as “more than a school’’.

She spoke of the teamwork of the school community, and how particularly evident that had been following the fire in September that left classrooms badly damaged, and how the quality of relationships was highly valued.

Many students also took part in the presentation to showcase their talents and achievements, including in the areas of music, dance, academic subjects and sport, as well as extra-curricular activities ranging from the formation of a new reptile club to school trips to Iceland and students’ involvement in leadership programmes, carrying the Olympic torch ahead of the 2012 games and in Duke of Edinburgh award schemes.

Guest speaker, mayor of Dalton Councillor Barry Doughty, handed out the prizes and certificates to successful students and, in his speech, spoke about the importance of all-round learning and his own admiration for educationalist Dr Kurt Hahn, the founder of the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme and Gordonstoun School.
