A selection of primary school pupils were awarded for academic achievements prior to their departure last month.

The four to 11-year-olds were invited to the awards evening, which was sponsored by Loughton-based accountants, Haslers, at the school in High Road, Buckhurst Hill in July.

Students were awarded for their hard work in mathematics, reading, writing, spelling and grammar.

Olivia Curtis and Lucy Powell both received the Maths Progress Award, while Jayden Patel and Mathilda Briscoe were both honoured with the Maths Attainment Award.

In reading, Gwen Datey and Lizzie Radley were both given the Reading Progress Award and Jenny Lycett and Holly Timmis both received the Reading Attainment Award.

Awards were also presented to Billy Sullivan for Writing Progress and Mathilda Briscoe for Writing Attainment, while Jenny Lycett took home the Spelling and Grammar Attainment Award.

Michael Watts, a Partner at Haslers, said: “It is so great to see so many young children receiving awards for the wonderful work they have done throughout the last year.

“Who knows we may one day see some of them go on to become accountants or work in other professions.

"I and everyone else at Haslers would like to wish them the best of luck in their future academic pursuits.”
