We are delighted to be able to announce that nominations for the Independent Schools of the Year 2022 awards open today, Wednesday 16 March.
As we regroup and move forward after the enormous difficulties of the pandemic, I hope that the awards will provide an opportunity for schools to take stock of all that they have achieved in 2021-22 and celebrate the amazing student experience they have continued to be able to provide.
Throughout 2021-22 our schools have continued to deliver an all-round top class education to their students and we are keen to showcase the impressive work which we know is being undertaken in every area of school life, from music and drama to community outreach to fundraising and marketing. We hope that the task of preparing their entries will give schools the chance to look up from the immediate day-to-day pressures and celebrate what they have achieved in their many and disparate areas of work.
The judges have provided comprehensive and up-to-date criteria for each award and we would encourage all of you who are going to be authoring entries this year to take time to understand what the panel is looking for and craft your stories accordingly. Click here to read the guidelines. We would love to see a compelling narrative of a school’s activities highly focused on the subject of the award.
