There are a lot of awards out there in the world of independent education, so we wanted to make ours different.
Following on from last year’s incredibly successful awards, we were hugely excited to launch Talk Education’s Awards for Innovation in Education 2024.
We’re rewarding schools who are forging boldly ahead with new, revolutionary ideas which are changing the face of independent education. Schools who are not just thinking outside the box, but setting fire to it and then building something new, cleverer, better. We want to sing the praises of schools who are doing inspiring work in a particular field, whether it's a new approach to community engagement or an inspiring programme to help prepare pupils for life beyond school.
We were blown away by the number and quality of entries from hundreds of schools all across the globe, and our team of dedicated informers and judges – experienced researchers and educational experts, former heads, teachers and advisors, all with their eyes and ears to the ground – spent the summer locked away in very heated discussion!
No school had to pay or subscribe to TE to enter our Awards, so it was a completely open playing field. In fact, schools didn't have to do anything at all to enter. The last thing we wanted to do was make more work for overloaded marketing departments; and more importantly we already know schools inside and out.
Our winners have now been announced. Thank you to all of the schools who took the time to tell us about the amazing, innovative things they are up to – a wonderful reflection of the incredible commitment of so many schools across the globe.
See you next year!
