The Boarding Schools’ Association, part of BSA Group, is delighted to reveal the shortlist of finalists in this year’s BSA Supporting Excellence Awards.
Now in its sixth year, the awards are our opportunity to recognise and celebrate the achievements, hard work, and dedication of schools and individuals within boarding.
It has been fantastic to see such a variety of impressive entries from across the entire boarding community and we thank all those who have taken the time to enter this year.
Winners of the awards will be announced at the BSA Annual Conference for Heads, sponsored by Chartwells and Schoolblazer, which takes place on Tuesday and Wednesday, May 2 and 3 at the Bristol City Centre Marriott.
Robin Fletcher, CEO of the Boarding Schools’ Association and BSA Group, said: “Our annual awards allow us such a fantastic opportunity to support excellence in our boarding community, and celebrate unwavering boarding staff commitment and everything they do to support boarders.
“I am delighted to see another excellent response to our awards this year and our judging panel have once again been hugely impressed by the standard of entries – selecting winners has been no easy task!
“We wish all the finalists shortlisted the very best of luck. And special thanks to this year’s award sponsors for their support.”
