The exceptional achievement of Aaron Wilson was celebrated today as he was awarded the prestigious BTEC Award for Art and Design Learner of the Year 2020.


Aaron was recognised by teachers and peers for succeeding despite personal challenges throughout studying for the qualification. His proactivity, passion, tenacity and willingness to help and support others led to outstanding BTEC results.

Meanwhile, we were delighted to learn that Nathan Dodgson, a former Shevington High School pupil, was also given the Bronze Award in BTEC Sport Student of the Year 2020.

Former Hawkley Hall High School pupil, Aaron's hard work and dedication was celebrated at the tenth anniversary of Pearson’s annual BTEC Awards hosted online on 25 June 2020.
