🏆 🎉 WMG Academy Trust Awards 2024 🎉🏆
On Thursday 12th December, the WMG Academy Trust held its annual Awards Evening and celebrated the success of students in both the Solihull and Coventry academies. The event took place at the University of Warwick and was hosted in the impressive Oculus building.
As well as proud parents supporting the prize winners, guests presenting awards were Lady Bhattacharyya, Alison Hodge, Samantha Frampton (Head of Solihull Chamber of Commerce), Christine Ennew (Chair of the WMG Trust), and Santina Ajdari-Bunting ‘Apprentice of the Year currently working at Arup. WMG Alumni who returned to address Award Winners included Jordan Albutt (Rolls Royce) and Katherine Fenton (JLR) who both shared their inspiring journeys, showcasing the enduring impact of a WMG Academy education.
This year’s event was particularly special as it commemorated the WMG Academy Trust’s 10-year anniversary, reflecting on a decade since the opening of the first WMG Academy in Coventry in 2014. The ceremony featured the presentation of numerous awards recognizing exceptional accomplishments across Key Stages 4 and 5. These included honours for academic excellence in subjects like Engineering, Maths and the Arts, as well as special accolades; the Best Role Model and Resilience Awards. Holly Hampton and Safiyah Jahic from WMG Solihull Academy and Dawid Grigorian and Demi Wood from WMG Coventry Academy were awarded Lord Bhattacharyya Student of the Year award, highlighting their outstanding contributions and dedication.
Staff dedication was also celebrated, with ten-year service awards presented to honour individuals who have contributed significantly to the Trust’s mission since its inception.
The WMG Academy Trust extends thanks to everyone who made the evening a success; parents and carers for their unwavering support, students for their hard work and determination, teachers and staff for their commitment to excellence, and distinguished guests for sharing their journey.
