Fourteen of our **Year 7 pupils** were invited to attend a special **El Camino Project Awards Ceremony** at St John’s, celebrating their hard work and achievements.

### Learning Through History and Exploration

As part of the project, pupils researched **Margery Kempe** and her famous pilgrimage, developing their **historical knowledge, research skills and cultural understanding**. Their dedication and enthusiasm were evident throughout.

### Recognition on an International Stage

During the ceremony, pupils enjoyed a variety of cultural activities, and several were presented with **certificates for their excellent work**by the **Leader of the Parliament of Galicia** — a truly special honour.

### Celebrating Outstanding Achievement

A huge congratulations to **Harriet**, who was named the **overall winner from St Michael’s** and awarded a **£100 Amazon gift voucher** for her exceptional work.

We are incredibly proud of all the students involved for their effort, enthusiasm and outstanding representation of our school.
