School Colours
As a school, we are proud of our students. Proud of their achievements, talents and commitment to not only their study, but to their extra-curricular activities and interests.
At Blessed Hugh Faringdon Catholic School, we celebrate the whole child.
Our school colours are an important part of our student’s identity, celebrating their excellence in and outside of school.
It is important for us to not just recognise outstanding academic achievement but also the amazing work our students do in the local community, our school community and their dedication to sport, drama, music and other competitive activities. School colours will be awarded at Celebration Assemblies throughout the year.
We rely on students to apply for their colours. We welcome nominations from parents, too.
Please encourage your child to complete the link below to receive their school colours this term and celebrate their achievements outside of the classroom. For school colours to be awarded, each student must be a participant for a minimum of three months.
For external activities, we will require evidence of activity – such as an invite from a Musical Director, a reference from a coach or a rehearsal schedule. Please ask your child’s Head of Year if you are unsure.
