A secondary school in Cheadle Hulme has picked up a prestigious accolade.

St James' Catholic High won the "Outstanding Commitment to Sport" title at the Educate Awards, described as the North West's largest education awards.

The school was recognised for its 'excellence' in sport - in particular for earning medals in 10 different events including triathlon and basketball.

St James' High was also praised for its inclusion - in particular its SEND events and its work in helping girls achieve equal access to football.

And it wasn't just St James' Catholic High School which did Stockport proud at the Educate Awards.

Stockport Academy's Corie Higgins was runner up in the Teacher of the Year category. Meanwhile, The Pendlebury Centre in Cheadle Heath was runner-up for Most Inspirational Specialist School.

Kim O'Brien, founder of the Educate Awards, said: "Congratulations to St James' Catholic High School for its success at this year's Educate Awards!

"A big well done to the runners-up and finalists, and thank you to everyone who took the time to enter. Each year, the judges' job gets harder, and once again, the results were incredibly close.

"We're incredibly proud that the Educate Awards continues to shine a light on the remarkable achievements of schools and colleges across the region. The dedication, creativity and care shown by staff and students never fails to inspire us.

"Entries for the 2026 awards will open in February, and we encourage schools, colleges and multi-academy trusts of all kinds to get involved."
