Testimonials
"The Educate Awards are certainly a showcase for highlighting the tremendous work done in all our schools, colleges and academies in supporting our children across the region. It is a wonderful platform to celebrate the exemplary work we all do to support pupils in achieving their full potential. I think it is especially more poignant to celebrate this outstanding dedication and commitment to learning at such an iconic and spectacular venue as Liverpool Cathedral."
Angela Ogden, St Damian's RC Science College
“It was a great thrill to be able to share being shortlisted with the whole school community, most especially our fantastic children! I know it will be an amazing evening, we have, as a school, not missed one yet! The time and effort that go into the detail of the event itself provides such a boost to the whole education community in the North West!”

“Thank you so much, I can honestly say on behalf of myself and the team here at CER, this year was certainly the best although I am sure I have said this every year! The Awards never fail to deliver and this year was no exception. The performances, the hospitality and venue were amazing and as for the gif booth, what good fun! To celebrate all things educational, and the hard work that schools and teachers do every day is so important to the team here at CER so thank you."
