The BSA is delighted to announce that nominations are now open for its annual Supporting Excellence Awards, which will once again be sponsored this year by Engage.
First held in 2018, the BSA Supporting Excellence Awards celebrate the achievements, hard work, and dedication of schools and individuals to boarding, and reflect BSA Group’s mission of ‘Supporting excellence in boarding, safeguarding, inclusion and health and wellbeing’.
For 2022, the awards have again grown, with two new categories being introduced: ‘Best New INDEX (Inclusion and Diversity Excellence) Initiative’ and ‘Best Artwork Project’.
The winners will be announced at this year’s BSA Annual Conference for Heads, which takes place on May 3-4.
Robin Fletcher, CEO of the Boarding Schools’ Association and BSA Group, said: “Our annual awards give us an opportunity to support excellence in our member schools, and recognise the dedication of staff members and everything they do to support boarders.
“Ever since our awards were launched, they’ve proved extremely popular with our member schools. In 2021, we received a record number of entries: almost 200 submissions. With two brand-new categories being introduced this year, we hope 2022 will be our biggest yet, and I’d like to thank Engage for once again sponsoring the awards. We look forward to seeing your submissions.”
