FOOD and nutrition expertise has won a Sheldon School pupil a top accolade after she was named the winner of a national award for her A-level results.
Emily Alice Kirkman is the winner of this year’s British Nutrition Foundation’s Drummond Education Award for A-level Design & Technology: food technology for the AQA Awarding Organisation. The award is given to GCSE and A-level students to recognise and reward the outstanding achievements of outstanding students and their teachers in this subject area.
Emily said: “I am extremely delighted to have received recognition for my work in an area I’m particularly passionate about. I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the A Level course and am looking forward to furthering my knowledge of food science and nutrition at university.”
Mr James Finch, her food technology teacher, added: “We are all so pleased that Emily has won an award that reflects her commitment to the subject over the past four years. It is very satisfying to see what our future food students can aspire to in their future studies”
The award consists of a £100 prize for Emily and a £200 prize for the school to recognise and reward outstanding pupils.
