Greswold was joined by a special guest in assembly today. Mrs Morris, SEND operations manager from Solihull Council, came to present awards to our pupils who were nominated for kindness, bravery, achievement or being a young carer. Nearly 100 pupils were nominated for 'Celebrating SEND Awards' from across the borough of Solihull.

Greswold was proud to nominate:

Harrison D for a Kindness Award for how kind, patient and understanding he is with his peers. 

Toby H for an Achievement Award for becoming more independent and working really hard.

Blake B for an Achievement Award for coping with his medical needs, transport to school and all the different adults and appointments in his life as well as coping with school. 

Harrison, Toby and Blake were awarded medals by Mrs Morris in assembly today.

In addition, Greswold nominated Miah for Young Carer of the Year and Megan for a Bravery Award.

Megan was presented with a Special Recognition Award for showing exceptional personal development at Forest School and at swimming while overcoming her fears. Staff noticed how she has changed from being quiet and nervous to being enthusiastic and independent. She has shown great courage, resilience and determination, but will seek out help when needed.  

Miah was chosen as the winner of the Young Carer of The Year award and attended a special celebration event on 3rd December. She was chosen as she supports and cares for her mum while coping with her own diagnosis. Miah always considers others: she always listens to and has empathy with the other young carers and says comments like "I would like to tell other children like me that it's OK, it's not your fault." 

Mrs Morris awarded Miah and Megan with certificates and other goodies. Well done to Harrison, Toby, Blake, Megan and Miah. We are so proud of you.
