We are thrilled to announce that two talented students from Nottingham Academy have triumphed at the prestigious Young Creative Awards, held last night at Nottingham Playhouse. This annual event celebrates the remarkable creative talents of young people across Nottingham, and our students truly shone among their peers.

Laraiba Year 9, was honoured in the Animation and Digital Media category (11-15 years), while Namaa ,Year 13, excelled in the Visual Arts category (16-18 years). Their innovative and inspiring work stood out in a highly competitive field, showcasing their exceptional creativity and skill.

The award ceremony featured outstanding work from students representing 23 different schools, colleges, and universities from across the city. The variety and quality of the entries were exceptional, making it an even more significant achievement for Laraiba and Namaa to emerge as winners.

It was an extra special evening for Nottingham Academy, as having two students recognised in different categories highlights the diverse talent and dedication of our students. Both Laraiba and Namaa’s work is prominently featured in the YCA brochure and on the YCA website, a testament to their hard work and creative vision.

Their success not only brings pride to our school but also serves as an inspiration to all students striving to excel in their creative endeavours.

Let’s celebrate their wonderful accomplishments and look forward to more success stories from our talented students in the future.
