It's that time of year again...

The Scottish Education Awards were first launched in November 2001 by the Scottish Government and the Scottish Daily Record, with the specific aims of celebrating the successes and recognising the achievements taking place within Scottish education.

Entry to the Awards is open to all publicly-funded schools, including secondary, primary, nursery and special schools. There is a wide variety of categories to enter which are linked to the Curriculum for Excellence and that also recognise the dedication and commitment of teaching staff and education supporters.

Don't forget that there's a Sustainable Schools Award category - so go on, make sure your favourite Eco-School is nominated!
