Awards

The school supports an array of awards that provide exciting opportunities for our students to highlight their skills and ideas, to work on different projects and offer students special recognition for their work.

Enterprise Awards

This school organised competition highlights the commercial potential of our students’ projects.

Our graduating students were asked to illustrate how their project had commercial potential, showing their understanding of their market, target audience and viability of their design. The entries were presented to a panel of industry leaders who critiqued and judged the projects and then awarded the winning designs.

The judges for the 2020 Enterprise Awards are from Joseph Joseph, Princess Yachts, Dyson and Cambridge Consultants.

The winners were announced throughout the day on Wednesday 24th June on our social media channels.
