The 2019/20 Reader Awards have officially launched, backed by some of the biggest names in school travel and including some exciting new accolades.
There are some exciting new awards this year including the Best Education/Learning Team of the Year, Best Educational Workshop, Best Geography Learning Experience and Best Venue for STEM (Science, Technology, English & Maths) Learning.
The 17 awards, which include Best UK Attraction, Best Heritage Venue and Best School Tour Operator, highlight excellence across the locations and organisations that provide educational trips and enriching experiences, outside the classroom.
Two of the awards acknowledge the dedication of teachers and the schools themselves through the School Trip Champion and ‘My Best School Trip’ Awards – both offering a prize of £1,500 towards a future educational visit.
This year’s Awards initiative will again culminate in a five-star ceremony and lunch at the Royal Garden Hotel in London on Friday 15th November.
Details of voting, entries and nominations will be included in your next edition of the magazine, online at www.schooltravelorganiser.com/awards and through the regular ‘School’s Out’ newsletter.
A special thanks to our 2019/20 Awards Partners:
