A SOLIHULL school has been shortlisted for a TES Schools Award.

Lyndon School in Solihull has made it to the final of the Secondary School of the Year at the awards, which are widely regarded as the Oscars of the education sector.

The TES Schools Awards shortlist is compiled by a panel of expert judges, including school leaders and sector specialists, and recognises the very best from state and independent schools across the UK.

Syreeta Kapswara, head of school at Lyndon, said: “We are very proud to be nominated and shortlisted for Secondary School of the Year at one of the premier awards in education.

“This nomination, which recognises Lyndon School as one of the top schools in the country, belongs to all our staff members, learners and wider community, who work tirelessly all year round to make Lyndon the warm, welcoming and excellent school it has become.”

The school said the shortlisting reflects Lyndon’s growing profile as a school committed to raising standards for children and young people, combining academic excellence and inclusion.

Rod Williams, chief executive of Tes, said: “This year’s shortlist showcases the exceptional standard of entries across the Tes Schools Awards, reflecting the breadth of impact being delivered in UK education.

“Each category highlights schools and individuals who are not only driving meaningful change within their own settings but also setting a benchmark for the wider sector.”

The Tes Schools Awards are designed to recognise and elevate this work, celebrating those making a measurable difference to pupils, staff and communities across the UK.

This year’s awards will be hosted by award-winning comedian, writer and presenter Katherine Ryan, with winners announced at a gala ceremony next month in London.
