Alleyn’s School 
The Achievement Awards recognise alumni achievements and celebrate the spirit of possibility.
We were delighted to receive such a strong and varied set of nominations this year. It has been particularly special to see a wide range of interests, individuals and inspiration resonate so clearly within the Alleyn's community.
Following careful consideration, the shortlists for both the Alumni Achievement and Young Achievement categories have been unveiled, and the ultimate recipients in each category will be announced on Celebration Day (Thursday 2 July) after current pupils have had their say!
Our 2025 winners were movie vehicle specialist and Barbie Car creator, Nico Ferrari (Spurgeon's 2005), and surgeon and equality campaigner Dr Greta McLachlan (Tyson's 2002).
They were recognised at our Celebration Day and each received an original pencil sketch of Ned Alleyn, drawn by Jacob Skinnard (Cribb's 2024) who won The Royal Society of Portrait Painters' The de Laszlo Foundation Award earlier this year.
The Awards were established in 2024. They now a wonderful annual opportunity to celebrate our Alleyn's alumni community and the individuals within it, as well as providing inspiration for our current pupils.
