Tes awards 23' stage

Dubbed ‘the Oscars of Education’, the Tes Schools Awards celebrates excellence across the UK’s education sector, bringing together both State and Independent schools in one glamorous evening event in London. 

This year looks set to be the finest year yet, with a high level of entrants across all 21 categories. The panel of independent judges, made up of leaders from across the world of education, have already remarked that the quality and calibre of nominations at this stage is making their job a tough one.  

Alex Horne said, “As a former child who was taught by at least some excellent teachers, it’s an honour and a contractual obligation to be hosting this year’s Tes Schools Awards. I’ll have my band with me and they all ‘studied jazz’ at university so there are enormous gaps in their education that will hopefully be filled one day, and maybe this will be that day.”

Time is running out to get secured Earlybird tickets. This year the Tes Schools Awards take place on Friday 21st June 2024 at the Grosvenor Hotel, Park Lane, London, and will be attended by many of the nominated teachers from across the UK.

Attendees will also get to watch an excerpt of the Lion King performed by the Disney Theatrical Group.

Come celebrate the best in education with us and Alex Horne, The Horne Section, and the Disney Theatrical Group. Earlybird tickets for the event are available here.
