The remarkable achievements of over 120 children and young people were celebrated last night at London South East Academies Trust’s annual awards evening.

Taking place at Fairfield Halls in Croydon, the event brought together the Trust’s ten schools from across Bromley, Bexley, Lambeth and Surrey, along with Bexley Music. 
 

The awards, which celebrated excellence across academics, arts, sports, and personal development, provided a platform to acknowledge the unique challenges faced by our pupils and their remarkable ability to overcome them. Each award represented a personal victory, not just for the pupils but for the entire school community that supports and nurtures their development. The ceremony highlighted the school’s commitment to providing an inclusive and supportive environment where all pupils, regardless of their individual needs, can flourish.

“As our Trust continues to grow, with the recent addition of Warren Road Primary School and our three new primary schools in Bexley, I am incredibly proud of the work our schools are doing in their communities. Inclusion and belonging are at the heart of everything we all do – and this has been very much reflected here tonight.
“I would like to thank our staff, trustees, stakeholders, and parents for their ongoing commitment and support – as well as congratulating every single award winner. We are incredibly proud of you all.
