Award: The School Sport for Development Award
Winner: St Paul’s Way Trust School  Location: London

St Paul’s Way Trust School has been a pioneering school for Greenhouse Sports. The school started Greenhouse Sports first tennis programme in 2012 and we have progressed on a journey together, seeing the school transition from ‘inadequate’ and undersubscribed 10 years ago to being rated ‘outstanding’. The value of quality coaching and mentoring runs through their DNA, especially for the most disadvantaged. A true standard bearer and pioneer in education, using the positive power of sport to unlock opportunity, potential and learning.
