Acton High School has won four awards through the Transformation Trust and Blastbeat Education UK charities. Blastbeat teaches teenagers how to set up and run music and performance-based enterprises. Nine 'creative and media' diploma students from Acton High set up a multimedia company called Harmony Beatz as part of their course, to raise money for charity. Harmony Beatz proved so successful that it won the main Blastbeat award and there were two further individual awards for charity manager and art and design. To cap it off, the member of staff leading this project at the school won the outstanding teacher award. (Sept 2010)
