Etone College recently held a second series of Progress Praise Assemblies to recognise and celebrate pupils who have demonstrated outstanding commitment to their learning and to the wider school community. The assemblies highlighted exceptional progress and attainment, as well as service to the school Houses, exemplary behaviour and behaviour for learning, and the impressive accomplishment of 100% attendance for the Autumn term.
The assemblies brought together pupils and staff to acknowledge the hard work, resilience and determination shown by students across all year groups. Awards were presented to pupils who have made significant academic progress, reflecting their self-belief, organisation and initiative in taking ownership of their learning.
Recognition was also given to those who consistently model Etone College’s high standards of behaviour and behaviour for learning. These pupils were praised for being courteous, trustworthy and supportive members of the school community, contributing positively to lessons and creating a calm, focused environment where everyone can succeed.
Service to House awards celebrated teamwork and communication, recognising pupils who actively support house activities, represent their peers and show integrity in everything they do. Their willingness to work collaboratively and take responsibility demonstrates key employability skills that prepare them well for future education and employment.
A special celebration was reserved for pupils achieving 100% attendance. This achievement reflects not only commitment and resilience, but also a strong sense of responsibility and reliability—qualities that are essential both in school and in the workplace.
The Progress Praise Assemblies strongly reinforced Etone College’s core values and employability skills, including caring for others, being supportive and respectful, showing integrity, and developing the confidence to succeed. By celebrating these achievements, Etone College continues to inspire pupils to aim high, take pride in their efforts and develop the skills and character needed for lifelong success.
