Welcome

The Independent School Awards celebrate excellence in the strategic and financial management of independent schools in the UK. They are organised by the team behind Funding for Independent Schools magazine (www.fismagazine.co.uk). The event provides benchmarks for the sector as a whole and networking opportunities for schools to learn from each other. All shortlisted schools are also able to demonstrate value for money to their parents.

The award categories, judges and judging criteria are listed on the buttons on the left. Applications are now closed for 2012. We have received more than double the number of entries for 2011! 

Here's a brief video of 2011's awards presentation evening:
