Education Business Awards 2026: final call for entries
With applications closing next week, schools, trusts and education organisations across the UK are invited to submit their entries for the Education Business Awards 2026.
The awards recognise the leadership, innovation, operational decisions and strategic planning that help schools run more effectively and deliver better environments for both staff and pupils.
Categories span leadership, business management, SEND provision, ICT, sustainability, facilities, pupil enrichment and more, reflecting the full breadth of work that supports successful education settings.
Shortlisting brings national recognition and celebrates staff achievement, while giving wider visibility to work that often goes unseen beyond the school gates.
Winners will be announced at Education Business LIVE, the free-to-attend exhibition and conference for education professionals, taking place on 26 March at Old Billingsgate, London.
Education Business LIVE offers a full conference programme with expert speakers, as well as roundtable discussions and solution-providing exhibitors.
Entry for the award submissions and the ceremony at Education Business LIVE are completely free. The submission deadline is 6th February 2026.
