The\u00a0Independent Association of Prep Schools (IAPS)\u00a0is a highly prestigious professional membership association\u00a0representing\u00a0headteachers of the world\u2019s leading independent preparatory schools. Founded in 1892, it serves as a primary benchmark of quality in early and primary education, representing over 660 schools across the UK and globally (including Africa, the Middle East, and Asia). TRRS\u00a0remains\u00a0the only accredited member of the\u00a0UK Independent Association of Prep Schools (IAPS)\u00a0in Ghana.<\/p>\n

The IAPS\u00a0iArt\u00a0competition is an annual art contest for pupils attending IAPS member schools. It encourages artistic development, fostering critical\u00a0thinking\u00a0and creativity in young artists. This year’s\u00a0iArt\u00a0theme is “Contrast<\/strong>“. An open theme to encourage children to consider the breadth of approaches, encouraging them to think about differences and opposites in creative ways.<\/p>\n

The Art Department had the\u00a0difficult task\u00a0of only selecting 4 pieces of\u00a0art work\u00a0from across the entire school\u00a0submitted\u00a0to enter the prestigious IAPS\u00a0iArt\u00a0Competition 2026 and we are thrilled to announce that\u00a0Ezinne Anya (Form 3) has been awarded 3rd Place in the Global IAPS\u00a0iArt\u00a02026 Competition (Y9\u201310 Category). This phenomenal achievement highlights Ezinne’s immense creativity, dedication, and technical\u00a0skill.<\/p>\n

To celebrate this international success, Ezinne was invited to attend the official\u00a0iArt\u00a02026 Prizegiving Ceremony at Wetherby Prep School in Bryanston Square, London, on Thursday 11 June 2026. She received her award in front of talented young artists, families, and educators from across the UK and around the world.<\/p>\n

On behalf of the entire school community, we want to extend our warmest congratulations to Ezinne. We are incredibly proud to see your hard work\u00a0recognised\u00a0on such a grand stage. Thank you also to our wonderful art staff and to everyone who continues to support and inspire creativity within our walls. We cannot wait to see where Ezinne’s artistic journey takes her next!<\/p>\n
