We are delighted to announce that the AKS Lytham Foundation has been shortlisted as a finalist in the 2026 IDPE Development Awards in the Ambition & Progress category.
This national recognition reflects the remarkable progress made since the Foundation was launched in 2023. In just three years, the AKS Lytham Foundation has secured more than £500,000 in donations and pledged support, enabling the school to fund the first transformational bursaries in its history and create life-changing opportunities for students.
Alongside financial support, the Foundation has strengthened connections across the AKS community through growing alumni engagement and mentoring programmes, helping students benefit from the experience, guidance and networks of former pupils.
Being named a finalist is a testament to the generosity, commitment and belief of our wider school community. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who has supported the Foundation's journey so far. From donors and alumni to parents, staff and friends of the school, this achievement belongs to all those who have helped bring the vision of the AKS Lytham Foundation to life.
We are incredibly proud to be recognised alongside so many inspiring organisations and would like to congratulate all of the other shortlisted finalists.
We now look forward to the awards ceremony and are keeping our fingers crossed for the final result
