Celebrating Excellence: Atomix Educational Trust Staff Awards

Updated: 21st February, 2025

In a glittering ceremony at Teesside International Airport, colleagues from across our educational settings came together to celebrate outstanding achievements and herald an exciting new era as Atomix Educational Trust. The evening of Tuesday, 18th February marked a significant milestone in our journey, combining our annual staff awards with the internal launch of our trust’s new identity.


The atmosphere was electric as staff members gathered to recognise and celebrate the exceptional contributions made across our family of schools and colleges. From innovative teaching approaches to outstanding support services, the awards highlighted the incredible dedication and passion that drives our educational community forward.


This year’s awards recognised excellence across five key categories:
The Innovation Award celebrated those who have revolutionised their approach to teaching or support roles, introducing creative solutions that enhance the learning experience for our students. Winners in this category demonstrated how thinking differently can transform educational outcomes.


The Core Values Award recognised individuals whose daily actions exemplify the fundamental principles that guide our trust. These staff members consistently demonstrate our commitment to inclusive, innovative education and show unwavering dedication to transforming lives through learning.


Leadership Excellence was awarded to those who have shown exceptional guidance and inspiration to others, fostering an environment where both colleagues and students can thrive and achieve their full potential.
The Extra Mile Award highlighted those special individuals who consistently go beyond expectations, demonstrating extraordinary commitment to supporting students and colleagues alike. Their dedication makes a real difference to our educational community every single day.


Perhaps most touching was the Unsung Hero Award, which shone a spotlight on those quiet achievers whose consistent dedication often goes unnoticed but forms the backbone of our educational community. These individuals deliver excellence day after day with minimal fuss, making an immeasurable impact on our students’ lives.


The evening also marked the internal launch of Atomix Educational Trust, symbolising more than just a name change. It represents our vision for innovative, inclusive education that prepares students for success in an ever-evolving world. The transformation to Atomix Educational Trust embodies our commitment to three key pillars: mental health and wellbeing, international perspectives, and employability – principles that will define our approach to education moving forward.


The combination of celebrating current achievements while looking to the future perfectly captured the spirit of Atomix Educational Trust. As we continue our mission to transform lives through collaborative, innovative education from early years to adulthood, the dedication and excellence demonstrated by our staff awards winners show that we are in excellent hands.


Congratulations to all our winners and nominees. Your passion, dedication, and commitment to excellence make our trust what it is today and will help shape what it becomes tomorrow.
