The Consilium Awards is an annual event dedicated to recognising and celebrating the outstanding achievements of our staff and students who exemplify our core values of excellence, equity, and integrity. It’s a special evening that brings together our Trust community to acknowledge those who make a positive impact in their schools and beyond.
Congratulations to every nominee, everyone who was shortlisted, our runners-up and, of course, this year's winners. Simply being nominated is a remarkable achievement and reflects the positive impact each individual and team has made across our schools and central services.
