Plans for the South Maidstone Academies Federation won the Best BSF Academy category at the national Excellence in BSF Awards 2008 on Wednesday night (26 November).
The category focused on excellence in partnership working to deliver an Academy, taking account of the project's education vision, stakeholder involvement, design and value for money.
South Maidstone Academies Federation Deputy Executive Principal, Gigi Luscombe, who attended the ceremony said: “We are absolutely delighted to have won this award and to be recognised nationally for our outstanding partnership working.
“This award is a real testament to our staff who have worked incredibly hard with parents, students and governors to provide the best educational opportunities and facilities possible, securing a brighter future for our pupils.”
The awards have been established to celebrate the achievement of all areas of the national BSF programme. Kent's BSF and Academies Programme has been nominated in two categories.
KCC Cabinet Member for Education Operations, Resources and Skills, Mark Dance, said: “I am thrilled South Maidstone has beaten off stiff competition to win its category. It’s been a real team effort.”
The Excellence in BSF Awards recognise best practice in Building Schools for the Future and showcase how this unprecedented programme is already making a real difference to students, teachers and local communities up and down the country.
BSF is the biggest single government investment in improving school buildings for more than 50 years. The aim is to rebuild or renew nearly every secondary school in England over a 10 to 15 year period.
