Winners PRUsAP Dinner Awards 2025
We were excited to attend the PRUsAP conference held in Guildford on 20 June 2025.
Back to Basics: For the Sector, By the Sector – the PRUsAP conference focused on shared understanding of the Alternative Provision, drawing on the work of experts working in the sector.
We are thrilled to share the success of Wave colleagues at the PRUsAP Awards Dinner. Congratulations to:
Haydn Pearse of Caradon AP Academy who won Alternative Provision Leader of the Year!
Andy Wilson at North Cornwall AP Academy who was Highly Commended in the AP Teacher of the Year category
Wave Caradon AP Academy who were Highly Commended in the AP Team of the Year category
These awards are a real testament to the hard work, passion, and skill across Wave Trust.
We were also proud to share our experiences and expert knowledge in discussions and to collaborate with Youth Sport Trust to deliver a workshop on PE in a Box at the event too.
It has been an honour to be recognised and to continue to help lead the way and support others across the Alternative Provision sector. It was a great networking event to share best practice. We look forward to using ideas gained at the event too. Thank you to PRUsAp for hosting a valuable and entertaining event.
Well done to all involved.
World Environment Day
At Wave Trust we are committed to our sustainability strategy.
We have a Climate Action Plan in place. We monitor our Carbon Emission Savings – even having a league table for a bit of competition within Wave settings. Who will sit at the top of the table by reducing their emissions the most this year?
We have termly projects – this term it is all about waste management and is being driven by our Eco-Champions. Rethink, reduce, reuse, recycle. Following new legislation, we separate our food waste and have this collected but we are also working on a composting project. Each academy will receive a compost bin kit to build with the pupils. To reduce overall waste all kitchen scraps, peelings, and other compostable materials can be added to the bins and turned regularly to aerate the pile. This will not only reduce food waste but will produce nutrient rich compost. This compost can then be used in the academy gardens to produce fruit and vegetables to use in our cooking lessons. All this fits in nicely with our ongoing healthy school food project.
We have two patches of woodland for the use of our academies in Cornwall & Devon which also helps us offset our carbon footprint. These resources give our pupils the opportunity to learn from and enjoy nature. In Forrest School and Learning Outside of the Classroom we can offer hands-on lessons, building confidence, curiosity and connection with the world.
We always encourage our pupils to take care of our environment, but the litter picking and pollution surveys at the beach this academic year have been a thought-provoking experience. So much plastic! #BeatPlasticPollution
Let’s take care of and enjoy our environment.

Glendinning Ten Tors Jubilee Challenge
Just a little snippet of the incredible weekend Glendinning Academy had taking part in the Ten Tors Jubilee Challenge in Dartmoor!
The Jubilee Challenge is run alongside the Ten Tors Challenge; it is designed for young people aged between 14 and 21 with a range of physical, neurological or educational needs who complete one of several routes suited to their abilities. See more information about this fantastic event on their website: Ten Tors
For some of our Glendinning pupils it was their third and final year completing challenge, and they received their well-earned gold medal! For others it was a bronze or silver medal with aspirations to take part again next year. The groups walked either a 9-mile or 11-mile route, which was a huge achievement for all after a cold night in a tent!
Well done everyone, and huge thanks to the staff who gave up their time to support everyone to get to the finish line (and keep them well fed too!).
