On 28 November 2024, we returned to the University of Nottingham to celebrate our second Transformational Awards ceremony. The evening was dedicated to recognising and celebrating the extraordinary work taking place across our trust.

With over 10,000 pupils and 1,200 staff, we had much to celebrate!

This year’s event was even more spectacular than our inaugural ceremony in 2023, thanks once again to our special guest host, Geeta Pendse — an experienced freelance journalist and twice Royal Television Society nominated presenter.

Retinue were our headline sponsor, in partnership with Equans. A leading provider of specialist recruitment managed services, Retinue shares our passion for people and values diversity. Their commitment to recognising the value of different perspectives aligns perfectly with our own mission, vision, and values.
