We are thrilled to announce that the Katherine Warington School Trust Board won the Highly Commended Award in the Outstanding Governance in a Single School category at the NGA Awards 2025! 🏆🎉

The KWS Trustees celebrated this incredible achievement at the awards ceremony on 17 September at the Houses of Parliament. This national recognition reflects their unwavering commitment to continuous improvement, strong leadership, and a relentless focus on staff and student wellbeing.

Since opening just six years ago, with the guidance and support of the Trust Board, Katherine Warington School has gone from strength to strength, delivering excellent academic and pastoral outcomes for its students. 💜👏

“Winning this prestigious award is a wonderful acknowledgement of the passion and dedication of our trustees, and the amazing students and supportive staff who make our roles such a pleasure. We are committed to high standards of governance to drive improvement and success for all. We had a truly special afternoon at the Houses of Parliament and are delighted with our success. It is a privilege to lead a team of volunteers who are all so engaged and committed to making KWS a success” said Jenny Howarth, Chair of Trustees

“We are still such a young school, yet this recognition proves what can be achieved when staff, students, families and trustees work together with a shared vision. I want to extend my deepest, heartfelt gratitude to our entire Trust Board at Katherine Warington School. The sheer dedication, strategic vision, and tireless commitment they demonstrate is the bedrock of our school’s success. This award, by the NGA, is a powerful testament to the impact of their governance.”
