BCWCAT Staff Awards

Our very first BCWCAT Trust Staff Awards took place in Our Lady’s Hall at St Bede’s & St Joseph’s Catholic College, bringing together colleagues from across the Trust to celebrate the incredible people who make our schools such special places to work and learn. 

We recognised retirees, long service milestones, and winners across eight nominated categories, highlighting excellence, dedication, and service to our Trust family.
