Every year, Cheadle Hulme School proudly celebrates the achievements of our former pupils and staff through the Old Waconian Awards. It's our way of recognising the extraordinary contributions Old Waconians make, within their industries, across our vibrant CHS Community, and out in the wider world.
Nominated by Old Waconians, for Old Waconians. The Old Waconian Awards are our chance to spotlight, thank, and celebrate the incredible peers who inspire our community every day. Once nominations close, our Alumni Board carefully reviews every submission before casting their votes to determine this year's winners.
Every Old Waconian has a story, but some truly go above and beyond. If a former classmate or colleague is living our Waconian values and making a lasting difference, don't let their achievements go unnoticed. Nominate them now to celebrate their story.
