This award is for an independent school with a maximum of 275 students, of any age. The school can cater for any academic level.

Our judges would like you to tell them the story of your school during 2024-25; share your pride in where you work and explain why being a small school means that the young people in your care enjoy an unparalleled student experience. Give us some examples of what you are describing and share any data which supports your entry (but please avoid lists!). Most of all, give us a sense of the benefits of life as a small school as they would appear to our judges if they were lucky enough to walk through your doors. 

These are the key questions to answer in your entry: please make sure your entry focuses on your role as a great small school (rather than just a great school).
