Celebrating Excellence in Education
Awards Programme
The Edurio Awards Programme is our way of recognising and appreciating the incredible work you do in the education sector. We believe in celebrating everyone’s achievements and fostering a collaborative community where we can learn from one another. Our goal is to shine a spotlight on the remarkable work being done by our valued customers.
Celebrating excellence across the year
Throughout the year, we celebrate schools that exemplify excellence in specific areas, based on national survey data from the previous academic year. These awards recognise outstanding achievement and promote best practices across the education community.
Why the awards matter
The Edurio Awards don’t just recognise excellence, they help schools and trusts amplify their achievements.
Our winners have:
-
Received press coverage and strong local publicity.
-
Used their awards in recruitment campaigns and job adverts.
-
Shared their success with parents, pupils, and staff, building pride and engagement across the community.
Recognition that secures strategic buy-in
“Our board is fully behind working with Edurio because of the huge importance of receiving and acting on stakeholder feedback. The recognition we gained through the Pupil Happiness and Pupil Choice awards brought incredible value to LIFE Education Trust. The awards generated strong publicity and local press coverage, and our stakeholders were genuinely proud of these achievements. Working with Edurio has become a vital part of our culture and we wouldn’t want to be without them and their expertise.”
