We are immensely proud to announce a monumental international achievement within our school community as Form 5 student, Sara Adoley Quaye, has been named the prestigious Young Commonwealth Artist of the Year 2026. The pinnacle of this international recognition will take place later this year, as Adoley’s breathtaking series of portraits, entitled ‘Commonwealth Peoples’, has been selected for an exclusive exhibition at the upcoming Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) this November.
This high-profile platform will bring her insightful artwork directly before heads of state, diplomats, and global leaders from across the Commonwealth nations, flying the TRRS and Ghanaian flags exceptionally high on the world stage.
It has been a true joy to nurture Adoley’s extraordinary talent over the years in close partnership with her dedicated parents, and seeing her work gain such prestigious global visibility is a powerful testament to her deep passion and unique creative vision.
Having just completed her Cambridge IGCSE examinations earlier this month, Adoley has been a cherished member of The Roman Ridge School family since Reception, making this global honour a beautiful culmination of her lifelong journey with us. Adoley has received an Art Scholarship to Truro Girls High School in the UK, where she will pursue her Sixth Form studies.
The entire Roman Ridge School family extends its warmest and most heartfelt congratulations to Adoley on these historic milestones. We thank her for representing our school so brilliantly on the global stage, and we wish her the absolute best in all her future artistic and academic endeavours. Congratulations, Adoley!
