Greenford High School Media students recently celebrated their Media Awards the school’s version of the Hollywood Oscars. The awards ceremony saw staff and students gather to recognise the creativity shown across the A Level and GCSE Media Studies group.
Video production work shown included music videos and promos spanning a wide variety of genres and styles.
As is now traditional at this event the students were decked out in finery as the spotlight shone on the recipients of the awards. Categories included Best Cinematography, Editing and Production Design as well as the People’s Choice awards voted for by Greenford students in assemblies.
In addition to the students being honoured, legendary Greenford teacher and Post-16 leader Jeremy Jones picked up a Lifetime Achievement Award for 30 years of service to Greenford High School. In that time he has helped over 5,000 students secure university places across the world – including students who were picking up awards at the ceremony. Some of the destinations last year’s Media cohort have secured include Media at UCL, the Creative Industries at Warwick and Film Production at the Met Film School based at Ealing Studios.
Greenford High School Head of Media Will Halsey said, “I think this was our best Media Awards ever. The standard of the work on display was just stunning and the audience could not have been more attentive or positive throughout the evening.
“I have no doubt the work we saw on the big screen tonight is as good as any GCSE and A Level Media production in the country.”
This year's reward recipients
Headteacher Mia Pye said, “It was another fantastic night and the quality of the work on the big screen was incredible. The Media Awards really captures the spirit of the Greenford community and it was a pleasure to see students being celebrated by their peers and teachers.”
