Sporting Achievements

Sports Presentation Prize Winners and Sporting Achievements 2026:

Our annual Sports Awards Evening was once again a reason to celebrate, as our athletes joined together to recognise outstanding sporting achievements.

The awards were an opportunity to recognise, not only sporting prowess but also dedication, commitment and hard work – all equally important to sporting success!

The event took place on 22nd April at Stratos in Preston, followed by a three-course dinner at Angelo’s, with awards presented by Deputy Principal Paul Vaughan. Paul said: “This celebration is about far more than trophies and results. It is a celebration of the commitment, teamwork, resilience, and pride shown by our students throughout the year, both in competition and in their personal development. From standout performances to shared moments of achievement, we are incredibly proud of all that they have achieved.”
