Honours and Colours System
The ethos of the school promotes commitment to excellence in Academic Endeavours, Sports and Sportsmanship & Cultural Activities.
The CGB colours and honours system promotes and recognises excellence and achievement from our students. This recognition is not a ¿one off¿ acknowledgement but rather an award that has been earned by the candidate that will be permanently bestowed on them. This special award takes three forms (half colours, full colours and honours), which once earned, is retained by the student for the remainder of their time at CGB. These awards are applicable in Key Stage Two and Secondary only.
For all three awards, the nature of the acknowledgement will be identified by pins to be worn on the school blazer (secondary) and on the school jersey (primary). The pin will have lettering showing the level of award and in which facet the award was given, e.g. academics, rugby, chess, music, ballet, drama, football etc.
Students with half colours, full colours or honours will immediately be identified by these pins. Pupils will be encouraged to strive for excellence in all aspects of school life.

In order to receive school colours or honours, students must demonstrate absolute commitment and dedication as well as excellence in the particular area. The criteria to earn such recognition will be of the highest standards. By maintaining high principles, these esteemed accolades will uphold their value. Awards may also be granted for exceptional achievements that do not take place at the school, e.g. ballet or golf.
