Annual Awards Wow in Wales

Published on: Thursday, 28th Mar 2024

Thursday 28th June was the date as we celebrate our involvement in the 5th Daily Post School Awards!  The annual awards ceremony focuses on recognising the top talent in North Wales’ education system, from the best school newsletters and social media feeds, through to the best headteachers, schools and support staff.  This year saw a record number of entries across the nine awards categories, with judges facing their toughest task yet in shortlisting the nominees into finalists before picking eventual winners.

The ceremony opened with a wonderful performance from Ysgol Llannefydd, who were also up for both the Class/Team of the Year and Primary School of the Year awards.  Schools with real Daily Post Awards pedigree were in the running for several of the biggest prizes, with newcomers to the ceremony also fairing well and picking up their first awards.  Full list of winners and finalists below:
