Since 2019 Knox Academy has recognized achievement in school based extra-curricular and non-school based wider achievements through the award of Achievement Ties.  The Achievement Ties committee meets twice yearly to discuss nominations and allocation of Achievement Ties. There are two categories of Achievement Tie that can be awarded 'Half Colours' and 'Full Colours'.  

For information on eligibility for the awards please see the Achievement Ties 2024 document.  There will be a virtual assembly for pupils during registration from members of the Achievement Ties Committee in due course informing pupils about the awards and how they might achieve them. 

Nominations are now open and can be completed through a Google Form.  The deadline for the first of two nomination periods this academic year will be Friday 21 November 2025.  Any applications received after this date will role on to the next meeting of the committee in March 2026.

There is an information virtual assembly planned for Monday 27 October 2025 to promote, explain and introduce the award system.
