A new ERA

The winners of the 13th annual Educational Resource Awards have been announced.

The prizes were unveiled on Friday 18th March at a gala event held at the National Motorcycle Museum in Birmingham, following the second day of this year’s Education Show. As ever, the competition was organised by the British Educational Suppliers Association (BESA) with the help of Brilliant Marketing Solutions, with the aim of celebrating the innovative approach to learning and teaching exhibited by teachers, institutions and organisations from every level of education. The winners, a full list of whom you’ll find below, were selected by an independent panel of education professionals.
