IDL Learner Awards - School 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 schools for the IDL School of the Year Award.
This award recognises schools who have gone above and beyond to support pupil progress and development through the use of the IDL programme. Judges will assess schools on their commitment to the development and education of their pupils, the effectiveness of how the IDL programme has promoted a positive learning environment, and the positive impact that has been made on pupil progress and achievements throughout the school.
Schools can nominate themselves for this award, with one nomination per school accepted.
All valid nominations will receive a Certificate of Recognition. The winner of this award will receive a £400 voucher, and the runner up will receive a £200 voucher.
