Always difficult to single out individuals, but it is important to celebrate successes great and small.   Many of these prizes recognize the achievements of the Fifth Form and their contribution to the House over the past year to three years.

Aberdeen Sapphire:

An award given that recognises a Fifth Former who is a non-native speaker who has endeavoured to make an effort to mix with everyone within the House regardless of language.

Aberdeen Diamond:

An award to be given to any Fifth Former who has made the biggest impact on the House Atmosphere,  being friendly to all years and who has integrated totally.  This person will have taken the opportunities on offer at Ardingly College, getting involved in numerous areas of College life.

The Housemistress Cup:

This is an annual award for presented to the Fifth Form student who has contributed most to the House and/or has set an example to the other students during their time in Aberdeen. The recipient’s name is engraved on the cup, a most beautiful, ornamental silver cup which was originally presented by the first Housemistress of Aberdeen.

House Colours:

House Colours are intended to be recognition of success and application in a girl’s life at Ardingly.  All girls are eligible to receive their House Colours and they are worked towards over time. They are awarded at the discretion of the Housemistress, in consultation with House Staff. They can be awarded for a variety of reasons – academic, sporting, dramatic, musical and for demonstrating maturity, generosity and responsibility in the House. Those awarded House Colours are given an engraved crystal and their achievement would naturally be noted in their records and references to universities and employers.

The Aberdeen Award:

Emily O’Shea

The Aberdeen Dragon:

This is an annual award which is made to the girl who has best exemplified the values of the House (usually a Fifth Former). Her name will be put on the board in the House’s entrance hall. It recognises the values of integrity, commitment, giving ones best whatever one’s ability, being loyal to the House, its staff and members, making the most of opportunities and thereby setting an example to others.  It is intended that the recipient reflects the example of what it means to be an ‘Aberdonian ‘.
