Now in its 21st year, the Bett Awards celebrate the inspiring creativity and innovation that can be found throughout technology for education. The awards recognise excellence across 21 categories including two new categories: Collaboration with a School, and the Impact Award, which, for the first time, involves schools and learners championing the best edtech they have experienced.

44 judges have completed the first round of judging to compose the shortlist of finalists who stood out from the hundreds of entries.
Judge Steve Whitley, Founder, EdTech Consulting commented: “This year’s entrants include many great new technologies that really improve the teaching of STEAM education, particularly in creative media such as film and music. The Impact Award entrants offer proof that effective use of suitable edtech can deliver real improvements in student learning with many of the entrants using low-cost technologies and putting the individual pupil at the centre of their own learning experience.”
Gill Budgell, Director, Consultant Publisher, Frattempo added: “There were many outstanding entries. It’s clear that edtech is, at last, coming into its own in terms of supporting school leaders.”
