Education Business is delighted to announce that entries for its annual awards are now open.
Now in its 17th year, the Education Business Awards continue to recognise and celebrate the outstanding work, dedication, and achievements of schools and academies across the UK.
Taking place on 26 March at the iconic Old Billingsgate in London, alongside Education Business LIVE, the awards shine a spotlight on the unsung heroes of education, celebrating excellence across every aspect of school life.
The awards recognise a wide range of categories, including leadership, outstanding progress, and EdTech provision, as well as innovation in educational products and services. Additional honours will be presented to those demonstrating excellence in areas such as catering, environmental achievement, school buildings, SEND provision, and much more.
Entry is free of charge - simply submit a 500-word entry statement. Shortlisted organisations will receive two complimentary tickets to the awards ceremony, including drinks reception and a complimentary brunch at Education Business LIVE.
An additional £20 million of funding has been allocated to support essential capital repairs and maintenance across schools and colleges in Wales this year.
The measure, added to the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill, delivers on the commitment made in the government’s manifesto to bring multi academy trusts into the inspection system.
Education Business LIVE has announced that Professor Samantha Twiselton OBE of Sheffield Hallam University will speak at the event in March 2026, delivering two thought-provoking sessions focused on initial teacher training and SEND provision.
