Ninestiles, an Academy, which is part of Summit Learning Trust, is one of only four schools shortlisted by the Education Awards for ‘Secondary School of the Year.’ The awards ceremony will be held on July 11 at Millennium Point.
This award is for the most outstanding secondary education establishment and, when making their decisions, judges look for evidence of how the school works as an establishment on its own and within the community that it is part of.
