The Tes Independent School Awards celebrate the outstanding aspects of the UK’s independent school sector and are judged by some of the country’s leading education experts. From individuals to teams, these awards applaud excellence and reward innovation.
This year’s Tes Independent School Awards received 464 entries, almost double the amount of entries received for the 2019 awards.
The Tes Magazine and website, formerly known as the Times Educational Supplement, is the most trusted source of education news and views in the UK. Tes runs these awards, alongside the Tes School Awards and the Tes FE Awards. Tes will hold the first ever International Schools Awards this year: they will be held on the 6th November in Bangkok, Thailand.
Ann Mroz, Editor of Tes magazine and Chief Judge of the Awards said:
“The Tes Independent School Awards is a who’s who of the top-tier individuals and institutions to be found in this thriving sector.”
