2021 Education Prize winners announced
Today we're proud to be announcing the winners of our thirteen Education Prizes – comprising teams and individuals in all areas of education from primary to higher education.
As part of a major overhaul of our recognition structures, we've expanded our Education Prizes to give wider recognition to some of the most important people in the sciences – the people who nurture and inspire the next generation of talent.
Our Excellence in Education Prizes celebrate inspirational, innovative, and dedicated people working in primary, secondary, further education and higher education – including teachers, teacher trainers, student mentors and more.
Meanwhile our Horizon Prizes for Education – which we are celebrating for the first time this year – highlight recent initiatives that are set to make a real impact within the field of education.
Over the past two years, educators have had to deal with circumstances unlike anything we have seen in living memory; with remote teaching and lack of access to equipment due to COVID restrictions making the sciences a particularly tricky subject to teach. What we have seen is resilience and brilliance – and our winning individuals, teams and schools stand high in a particularly inspiring field of nominees.
