The awards, dubbed the ‘Oscars of education’, celebrate the best of education across the country.

An expert panel of judges comprised of leaders in education selected a shortlist for 22 categories, with a new category added this year: ‘Inclusive Trust of the Year’. The final category, ‘Lifetime achievement award’, will be announced on the night.
Majella Delaney, Principal at Meath School, said:
“We are absolutely delighted that Meath School has been shortlisted for the Tes Awards 2025. It’s a huge honour to be recognised among the best in education, and a real testament to the incredible dedication of our staff, the resilience of our pupils, and the unwavering support of our families.”

About Speech and Language UK
For at two million children in the UK, learning to talk and understand words feels like an impossible hurdle. We work to give every child the skills they need to face the future with confidence. We design innovative tools and training for thousands of early years staff and teachers to use in their classrooms. We run two special schools for children with complex speech and language challenges, Dawn House in Nottinghamshire and Meath in Surrey. We give families the confidence and skills to help their children. And we put pressure on politicians to prioritise help for speech and language challenges.
