Pupils at Forest Hall School in Stansted were celebrated at an event for winners of the Jack Petchey Foundation Achievement Award.
Each month, Forest Hall pupils are nominated for the award by their teachers for their commitment to being exceptional, helping others and completing challenges.
The winner is given a certificate and the opportunity to decide what school department £300 donated from the Jack Petchey Foundation should be spent on.
Students attended the event alongside their peers from the Uttlesford district.
Assistant headteacher Kayleigh Trainor said: "This was a lovely evening celebrating the successes of the students from Forest Hall.
"Many of these students have been awarded their Jack Petchey Award for exceeding the expectations of not only staff, but also themselves."
