Held at King Alfred's Academy, the awards have become a highlight of the sporting calendar, celebrating not only sporting excellence but also the dedication, resilience and positive attitudes that pupils demonstrate both on and off the field of play.

Schools nominated pupils across a wide range of categories, from dance, cricket and football to inspiring leadership, with the evening culminating in the presentation of the prestigious Sports Boy and Sports Girl awards, selected from nominees across all participating schools.

The event was organised by Cambrian Learning Trust Enrichment Lead, Paul Chadwick, whose work continues to provide pupils with opportunities to discover passions, build confidence and develop character through sport and enrichment.

Paul Chadwick said:

"We are so proud of the work our schools do in supporting children in sport and PE. For nine years these awards have celebrated the incredible commitment shown by pupils, staff and schools, and it is fantastic to see so many young people recognised for their achievements.

"The evening celebrated quality, perseverance, effort and dedication to PE and sport. Every pupil who was nominated should be incredibly proud of what they have achieved, and we hope they left with not only a medal but a sense of pride and accomplishment."

The evening also featured an inspiring address from GB Triathlon athlete Pam Stokell, who captivated pupils by sharing how she went from taking up triathlon in her 50s to representing Great Britain. Her story of perseverance, courage and self-belief perfectly reflected the values celebrated throughout the evening, proving that with determination and hard work, it's never too late to achieve your ambitions.

The Trust would also like to congratulate Darcie and Isabelle from Millbrook and Charlton Primary Schools, who did an outstanding job co-hosting the awards alongside Paul Chadwick. Their confidence, enthusiasm and professionalism helped make the evening a memorable celebration of sporting success.

Richard Evans, Chief Executive of Cambrian Learning Trust, said:

"These awards showcase so much more than sporting success. They celebrate the resilience, teamwork, kindness and ambition that help young people flourish both in sport and in life. We are incredibly proud of every pupil recognised this evening and of the schools that continue to inspire children to discover their talents, challenge themselves and achieve their very best."

The Cambrian Sports Awards are a key part of the Trust's enrichment programme, reflecting its commitment to nurturing growth and inspiring minds by providing opportunities for every young person to develop confidence, character and a lifelong love of sport.
