CDS proudly hosted their annual Awards Evening welcoming over 330 guests to this special occasion, dedicated to celebrating the outstanding achievements of CDS pupils.  The event brought together pupils, families, staff, and members of our school community to recognise academic excellence, creativity, leadership, and personal development.

The evening was filled with inspiring moments as the school honoured those who have demonstrated exceptional commitment and effort throughout the last year. Each of the 150 awards reflected the hard work, and dedication, that make the school community so vibrant.

The School was delighted to welcome Ms Megan Belt, Captain of the Kent Women’s Cricket Team, who shared words of encouragement and reminded us of the importance of perseverance and ambition, and the School also thanks Councillor Mike Garner, Mayor of Broadstairs, for his contribution in presenting awards.

A heartfelt thank you from the School goes to all staff and volunteers who made this event possible, and to the special guests and families who continue to support our pupils in reaching their full potential. Congratulations to all award recipients, you are a true inspiration!
