Thank you for being a spon
The Future ED Awards celebrate quality over quantity. Nominations are judged based on the content and quality of the application rather than how many nominations a person or organisation receives. There’s no need to run a campaign for votes—focus on submitting a detailed, thoughtful application that highlights the nominee’s impact.
We are looking for individuals, schools, and organisations who demonstrate the following values and impact areas:
Key Values & Impact Areas
Equity & Inclusion
How does the nominee actively promote equity and inclusion for Black African and Caribbean students and communities?
Innovation in Education
Has the nominee introduced creative, effective, or ground-breaking solutions to challenges in education?
Community Empowerment
Does the nominee foster partnerships that uplift and empower Black voices and create lasting opportunities?
Sustainability & Future Skills
How is the nominee preparing students for the future through sustainability initiatives, STEAM education, or financial literacy?
