The Scottish Education Awards are an annual celebration of the good practice and innovative developments taking place in schools across Scotland. They highlight best practice in classrooms, celebrate schools and acknowledge the dedicated individuals who devote their lives to helping young people fulfill their potential.
Entry to the awards is open to all publicly funded schools, including secondary, primary, nursery and special schools.
For the first time since the Awards began in 2001, nominations in 2009 were received from all 32 local authorities, representing the good work going on in schools and pre-schools all across the country.
Nominations for 2010 are now open! There are 15 categories this year and nominations can be made until March 5, 2010. Further information can be found on the Scottish Education Awards website. Follow the Scottish Education Awards on Twitter and become a fan on Facebook!
