A highlight of the evening was the series of performances by our talented students. We enjoyed a number of performances from the students of Heworth Grange School and singers and musicians from Ellesmere Park High School. Their contribution added a special touch to the celebration. A special thank you goes to Gemma Gatenby from Heworth Grange for her incredible choreography, and to Rebecca Brown and Chris Green from Ellesmere Park for their work in managing and supporting the bands.
The evening was truly incredible, showcasing the very best of our community. Well done to everyone who was nominated, to the runners-up, and especially to the winners. Your achievements are a testament to the hard work and values that drive us forward.
We’re also pleased to share that the event was part-funded by generous sponsors, helping us to keep costs low. A huge thank you to all those organisations for their support in making the evening possible.
This is an event voted by staff, for staff and students, so now is a great time to start thinking about who you’d like to recognise next year!
Congratulations to you all once again!
