The Ted Wragg Trust is delighted to announce that several of its schools have been recognised in the 2025 Edurio Awards, celebrating excellence in school performance and engagement across the country. These awards are particularly meaningful because they’re based directly on feedback from students, staff and parents.

Each year, Ted Wragg Trust schools gather valuable insights from their nationally benchmarked parent, student and staff surveys, ensuring that every voice is heard. The awards are based on these survey results and national survey data from the 2024/25 academic year. National awards highlight the top 10 performing schools in the country and regional awards celebrate the top performing school in a region based on a key question for the award category.
