At Trinity College London we are keen to recognise the achievements of students in Trinity’s Arts Award, drama and music qualifications in the UK & Ireland.
This recognition opportunity builds on previous initiatives such as Trinity Talent and Trinity’s Special Merit awards to offer recognition to students who are passionate and committed to their learning with Trinity’s range of arts qualifications.
Teachers, family members and others can nominate students who have shown excellence in one of the following categories
- Achievement – outstanding or high achievement in their qualification results
- Creativity – originality, inventiveness, taking a creative approach to their qualification
- Overcoming challenges – qualification success despite difficult circumstances or barriers to access
- Personal Development – personal learning or skills development via their exam/qualification
Check out our full category criteria for what you need to demonstrate when making a nomination.
All those who meet the criteria will be profiled on the new ‘Class of 2023: Hall of Fame’ page on our website. We may also contact successful students regarding further opportunities to profile their achievements such as featuring in our online gallery of success stories.
