2020 Education Business Awards shortlist revealed

17 November, 2020

The Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted how pivotal schools are to society, and so now, more than ever, schools and those who work in them should be celebrated for their unwavering commitment to our children's education. The Education Business Awards, sponsored by LocknCharge, continue to celebrate excellent innovation and leadership across the sector.

Due to social distancing requirements, the Awards will be steamed live across the internet via Youtube, Facebook and Twitter on 26 November.
