The Trust’s first awards ceremony was a huge success, with almost 400 nominations being received across the 12 award categories. 48 young stars were invited to the glittering awards ceremony at the Village Hotel on Monday 23rd June 2014, who brought along proud friends, family, headteachers and governors. Matt Bailey, Capital FM breakfast presenter, was the Master of Ceremonies and he introduced the award sponsors who had the difficult task of selecting the award winners who were presented with special star trophies on stage. Every finalist received an amazing prize box worth over £100! Prizes included a day pass at a local attraction, cinema vouchers, INTU shopping voucher, family board game, commemorative mug, personalised chocolate and an invitation to an experience day at Newcastle College. Entertainment on the night included Monkseaton Middle School choir, a sweets buffet, photography ‘I spy’ challenge and music.
