Local Schools Celebrate Success through Endeavour
Nearly 400 learners and staff members were honoured at the Summit Learning Trust Awards Ceremony, held at The Great Hall at the University of Birmingham this month.
The evening brought together learners, families, staff members and guests to celebrate the outstanding achievements of children and young people across Summit’s schools and sixth form college.
From academic progress to creative talent, personal resilience to community leadership, awards were given to learners who truly represent Summit’s values of excellence, effort and ambition.
The trust was proud to welcome Colonel Dr. Heidi Doughty OBE OStJ TD DL, who represented the Lord-Lieutenant of the West Midlands, and Abigail Vlahakis MBA DL. The awards were presented by Colonel Dr. Heidi Doughty OBE OStJ TD DL during the evening. Their presence added special significance to the event and demonstrated strong civic support for the work taking place across the trust.
The event featured individual awards from all Summit schools and guests were also treated to a beautiful musical performance from Solihull Sixth Form student Sophie Brown, singing What Baking Can Do. The evening embodied Summit’s mission to deliver exceptional education, care and opportunity, not only preparing learners for exams, but for life.
The trust comprises of three secondary schools, five primary schools and a sixth form college educating over 8000 learners. All the schools are based in the Birmingham and Solihull area, which allows the trust to work closely together for the benefit of all local children, young people and the community.

“The awards evening was an amazing celebration of the incredible achievements of our learners and the unwavering dedication of our staff members. Every award presented reflects not only talent and hard work, but the values we live by across Summit.
“I am deeply proud of how our schools, college, families and communities come together to support our children and young people to achieve their full potential. It is evenings like this that remind us what education is really about, unlocking opportunity, building confidence, and shaping futures.”
