Hannah in Colvin 2 and Ms Finlay, from Invicta Grammar School in Maidstone, have this week been awarded the British Nutrition Foundation Drummond Education Award, recognising our future nutrition scientists at the very beginning of their careers. The award was presented during the British Nutrition Foundation’s Annual Awards ceremony, which highlights and champions those who have made positive and important contributions within the food and nutrition community.

The British Nutrition Foundation Drummond Education Awards were first established to promote interest in studying food and nutrition, highlight food qualifications and recognise the achievements of top students at GCSE/National 5 level, and now also at post-16 qualification level. Prizes were awarded to the students who received the highest grades in food and nutrition subjects by their respective examination boards – AQA, EDUQAS, OCR, SQA, WJEC – and the hard work and dedication of each winning student's teacher was recognised and rewarded too.

Elaine Hindal, Chief Executive, British Nutrition Foundation said: “It is truly inspiring to see pupils today so engaged in food and nutrition education. Each pupil receiving the Drummond Education Award has demonstrated an incredible ability and should be proud of their achievements. We are also pleased to be recognising the phenomenal teachers who are educating the next generation of nutrition scientists, teachers and leaders in food, nutrition and health.”

The British Nutrition Foundation Drummond Education Award 2022 winning students and recognised teachers for GCSE and Scotland’s National 5 were:

  • AQA – GCSE in Food Preparation and Nutrition
    • Millicent Figueira and Steph Beales, Wallington High School for Girls
