A Message from the Trust CEO Richard Fletcher Cheif Executive Officer
It is with great pride that I present the 2025/26 academic year Trust HEART Awards bronze winners brochure. The HEART awards celebrate the dedication, enthusiasm, and commitment shown by colleagues, volunteers, and teams across our schools, colleges, and learning communities. Every day, individuals throughout our Trust make a meaningful difference to the lives of young people, helping them to learn, grow, and achieve their potential. The Trust HEART Awards are about recognising those who consistently embody our values and make a positive impact in their roles. Our bronze award winners have been nominated by their colleagues in recognition of their hard work, expertise, compassion, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to education. Each winner featured in this brochure represents the very best of our Trust community. Whether working directly with students or supporting behind the scenes, they play a vital role in creating environments where young people can thrive and succeed. Congratulations to all of our 2025/26 bronze award winners.

Next Steps In early January, school and college leaders will have the very difficult task of making some tough decisions and announcing the pretigious silver winners shortlist. All silver winners will then be invited to the very first HEART awards evening event set for January/February time where the eventual gold winner of each award will be honourably announced.
