Over the next 2 weeks, we're challenging our school community to switch off unused devices at the end of each day. Can our pupils take the challenge home too? Every switch-off helps reduce energy use and protect our planet. Let's see how many small changes we can make together!

CDS Pupils Celebrated at Mayor of Broadstairs Award Presentation

Posted on: 21/10/2026

Pupils from The Charles Dickens School were honoured at the Mayor of Broadstairs Award Presentation Event held at Pierremont Hall.

The event brought together pupils, families and community leaders to celebrate the achievements of young people who have successfully completed the Mayor of Broadstairs Award. We were delighted to be joined by the Mayor of Broadstairs and St Peter's, Councillor George Rusiecki, who personally presented pupils with their Mayor of Broadstairs badges.

To achieve the award, pupils completed activities across three key areas: physical activity, skill development and volunteering. Their experiences demonstrated commitment, resilience and a willingness to make a positive contribution to both school and the wider community.

During the presentation, pupils had the opportunity to discuss their achievements with the Mayor, reflecting on the challenges they had overcome and the valuable skills they had developed along the way.

The School is immensely proud of all of its pupils who received this recognition. Their enthusiasm, dedication and contribution to the local community embody the values and aspirations championed by The Charles Dickens School.

Congratulations to all award recipients on this well-deserved achievement.
