A HIGH Wycombe academy will today be in contention for two major national awards at a ceremony in London.
The Highcrest Academy, in Hatters Lane, is just one of six schools in the country to reach the final of the Times Educational Supplement’s Secondary School of the Year competition.
In addition, its Principal, Shena Moynihan, is also in the final six shortlisted for Headteacher of the Year at the same event today at London’s Park Plaza, Westminster Bridge.
The Head Girl and Head Boy will represent pupils, along with governor and staff representatives.
Highcrest also reached the final of these awards in 2011, and Miss Moynihan believes it is the only school to have been shortlisted twice.
She said: “It doesn’t really matter whether ultimately we win these awards – it’s fantastic to be shortlisted. I’m just so proud that the achievements of our students and staff have been recognised in this manner.”
