Staff Awards 2022

Archway Learning Trust’s annual Staff Awards event took place on Thursday 21st July 2022 at Nottingham Belfry Hotel to celebrate the incredible dedication and achievements of staff across our Trust. This year was more exciting than ever as we welcomed Bluecoat Trent Academy, The Long Eaton School, Alvaston Moor Academy and Lees Brook Community School to their first Staff Awards event since joining Archway Learning Trust!

We had 450 people in attendance including staff from across our Trust, governors, trustees, the Lord Mayor of Nottingham, Pauline Melvin-Anderson OBE, Nicholas Lee (Director of Education and Services at Nottingham City Council), Peter Bearne (Education Correspondent at ITV News), Jo Ward (Head of Education, Skills, Learning & Inclusion at Derby City Council), and representatives from companies that kindly sponsored the event.

The event was superbly hosted by our very own Ed Pickard (Head of Sports Science at Bluecoat Aspley Academy) and Katie Broomfield (Trust Lead for Teaching and Learning).

Pauline Melvin-Anderson OBE joined us as a guest speaker. She spoke about her fascinating Irish Traveller background and nearly 40-year career working in education, starting as a secondary English teacher in inner city Bradford. We were also delighted to welcome Peter Bearne on stage to talk to us about his career as an Education Correspondent for ITV News!

Earlier in the year, staff were given the opportunity to nominate their colleagues for an award. Students were also involved by putting forward nominations for the ‘Inspirational Staff Award’. 1850 votes were received in total!

For each award, 3 staff members were shortlisted and a short video clip was put together summarising why they had been nominated. We watched the video clips in awe and anticipation before each winner was announced.
