Introducing the Marie Cooper Award
At Chuckery Primary School, we are proud to celebrate children who consistently demonstrate our PROUD values throughout their time with us:
🌟 Perseverance
🌟 Respect
🌟 Ownership
🌟 Understanding
🌟 Development
To recognise these qualities, we award selected pupils with the Marie Cooper Award.
Marie Cooper was a much-loved member of our local community who kindly left a generous gift to the school in her will. Thanks to her incredible generosity, generations of Chuckery children have been able to enjoy a wide range of educational visits and outdoor learning experiences through our dedicated Outdoor Education Lead and our own Chuckery minibus. Her contribution has helped ensure that all children can access opportunities that enrich their learning, broaden their horizons, and create lifelong memories.
The Marie Cooper Award is our way of saying thank you and ensuring that Marie's legacy continues to inspire future generations. It is awarded to pupils who embody our PROUD values every day and who make a positive contribution to our school community throughout their journey at Chuckery.
We hope that this award not only celebrates our children's achievements but also reminds them of the lasting difference one person's kindness can make to the lives of others.
