IDL Learner Awards - Pupil of the Year
The IDL Learner Awards are an opportunity for users of IDL to recognise the achievements of schools, pupils and educators who have engaged with the programme as part of their curriculum.
We are encouraging teachers to submit nominations of pupils for the IDL Pupil of the Year Award.
This award recognises pupils who have shown an above and beyond commitment and dedication towards learning using IDL. They may have faced challenges and adversity, but their determination reflects on their achievements and the personal growth they have made with the support of the IDL programme. Judges will assess pupils on evidence of outstanding effort, overcoming challenges and personal development – for example, having a positive attitude to learning, showcasing personal growth and a determination for success.
Each school can nominate up to five pupils for this award.
All valid nominations will receive a Certificate of Recognition. The winner of this award will receive a £100 voucher, and the runner up will receive a £50 voucher.
