My name is Beverly Connolly. I have an idea for the 11 plus exam for 2019.
After the next exam we normally find the top 10 students overall but my idea is to find the top student in every parish, make a sign lights and everything with their names on it saying congratulations.
Find the top overall student in every parish so every parish would have one. Find the school they attended , make a sign with lights and all with they names place it on a pole in the area of the school.
This would stay up until the next 11 plus exam when there is a new person. Just name and school no marks. So that every year a different child’s name and maybe a different school. Think it would boost the children who are performing next. Every parish would have one and every primary school. The sign would be a good size with a picture of the child and they school saying top child for that parish overall.
Just thought it would be a good idea but if you don’t think so it’s ok. Might need a bit of thinking through.
