Chiswick School wins prestigious Tes Excellence in Creative Arts Award 2023

Chiswick School has been awarded with the prestigious Tes Excellence in Creative Arts Award (2023).

The awards ceremony, which is on of the most prestigious events in the UK education calendar and dubbed the ‘Oscars of Education’, is now in its landmark 15^th year and celebrates the extraordinary commitment, quality and innovation shown by teachers and support staff across the UK.

The 2023 Tes Schools Awards brought together the best teachers and schools from UK state and independent settings, including early years, primary schools and secondary schools. The panel of awards judges included school leaders, experts and education researchers.

Tommy Robinson, Creative and Performing Arts Coordinator said:

“We have spent the last four years developing and encouraging the Arts at Chiswick School among the students, staff and wider community. In that time we have grown from a very humble beginning (one or two projects per year) to now producing well over 30!

“This award is testament to the hard work of everyone in the Arts; but mostly to the commitment and sheer determination of the students that follow us on our quest to be the best! Also to the parents for their commitment and support of the school.”

Chiswick School “doing something extraordinary”

Chiswick School said the award is a true reflection of the extraordinary reach of the Creative Arts department both at school and in the community. Judge Lucy Cuthbertson said:

“Chiswick has a broad offering across the arts, and all of them are great with everyone taking part. They are clearly doing something extraordinary. They go out of their way to stretch their students and not do the predictable.”

Tes editor and chief judge of the Tes Schools Awards Jon Severs said:

“With these awards we honour the education community, who we’ve served for nearly 113 years. This year has seen some incredibly high-quality entries.

“These awards showcase just how vital our education professionals are to every facet of this country. Teachers, leaders and support staff all play such an important role in schools: this is our chance to say thank you for all that they do.”
