A PUPIL at Birchwood CE Primary School has won a citizenship award for being an ‘exceptional’ role model.

Jodie Gregory won the award in school in April.

Brenda Bland, head teacher, said: “She is an exceptional role model to others within the school.

“She offers support to anyone who needs it and her behaviour is exemplary at all times.

“She has a wonderful caring approach to others and is an asset to her class and the school.

“She can be relied on to fulfil any role asked of her and makes sure that everything she is involved in is completed to her best.

“She really does deserve to receive this award and I look forward to seeing her continue to make progress and go on to even better things during her secondary school career.”
