In an atmosphere of excitement, the Dukes Annual Awards 2026 for Europe took place on Tuesday, May 12, 2026. The awards are presented in recognition of the contribution of staff across the Group’s Schools, and our own Kalliopi Bitsiani deservedly won the Customer Service award for her work in supporting parents and creating a warm, family‑oriented environment through continuous communication and assistance.
The School had three additional nominations, two for Katerina Giannakoula, Kindergarten Director, in the categories Pastoral Care (emotional support and mental‑health/well‑being support for students) and Staff Member of the Year – Central Europe, and one in the category Service Above & Beyond (awarded to the staff member who goes above and beyond to support colleagues), where Despina Palamoutidou was nominated.
The online ceremony was addressed by Mr. Aatif Hassan, Founder and Chairman of Dukes Education Group, who congratulated all nominees and winners for their work and their contribution to the Group and to the students of its Schools, expressing his hope that their example will inspire everyone.
