Transition Year Awards 2026

Last night, Whispering House hosted the annual Transition Year Presentation Evening, marking the culmination of another TY year. These evenings are always heartwarming, giving this year’s Transition Year students the chance to look back on how far they’ve come since September—academically, personally, and as a community.

Subject awards were presented to pupils who demonstrated outstanding academic excellence (see main photo). In addition, the Spirit of Transition Year Award is given to the student who most fully embraced the unique spirit, philosophy, and goals of the TY programme. This year, that award was shared between three pupils.

Congratulations to all the award recipients and to every TY pupil for another year of growth and achievement.
