Our judges would like to hear the story of how educational technology, including but not exclusively AI, has shaped your school during 2025–26. This is your opportunity to show why you’re proud of what you do and how technology has genuinely enhanced the experience of the students in your care. Bring your approach to life with examples and supporting evidence where it strengthens your case—but avoid presenting it as a checklist of tools or platforms. Above all, help us understand the bigger picture: if our judges were to walk through your school, how would they see educational technology woven naturally into everyday teaching and learning and the wider operation of the school and consequently contributing to the overall resilience of the community?

The questions below should guide your entry. Please keep the focus firmly on the role of educational technology rather than the wider story of the school.
