High Five Pupil Awards - Highlighting Excellence at the School

2008/2009 Awards

Throughout the year all sports pupils work extremely hard training and competing in their sport. One or two individuals within the Glasgow School of Sport will however ‘stand out’ a little more than others due to an outstanding result or performance or by the tremendous improvements that they have shown in the course of the year.

Glasgow School of Sport is proud of the achievements of all its pupils and each year the coaching team is charged with nominating two pupils within their sport to be put forward for two high profile Glasgow School of Sport Awards: Outstanding Achievement and Most Improved Performer.

Voting takes place in the month of June each year and a range of the School of Sport partners are invited to vote. Coaches are not able to vote for their own nominee.

Voting has taken place for our annual pupil awards.
