Derry school shortlisted in UK’s best in Tes Schools Awards

Derry all girls school St. Cecilia’s College has been shortlisted in the UK’s best in Tes Schools Awards. 

The school has been shortlisted in the category of ‘Pupil Mental Health Initiative of the Year’. 

The UK’s most inspiring teachers and schools have been shortlisted in this year’s Tes Schools Awards. The awards, dubbed the ‘Oscars of education’, recognise the very best teachers and schools from UK state and independent schools, across early years settings, primary and secondary.

The shortlist was compiled by a panel of expert judges, including school leaders and sector experts. The schools and teachers they chose showcase the best of UK education within 22 award categories, covering all areas of school education.

Inclusive Trust of the Year was added as a new category this year and the final category, ‘Lifetime achievement award’, will be announced on the night.

Rod Williams, CEO of Tes, said: “I'd like to thank all those that entered the Tes Schools Awards this year. We’ve seen some incredible entries and more nominations this year than ever before, which just shows all the fantastic work that is being done across UK education. The Tes Schools Awards are a highlight of the education sector calendar, and it's important that we properly recognise the vital work that is being done across UK education, not just from the past academic year, but on a daily basis.” 

Winners will be announced on 20th June at a glittering gala awards night at the Grosvenor Hotel, Park Lane, London.
