“They are a fitting way to celebrate the quality and diversity of education and students that exists across the bay area. The awards are designed not just to reward high achievement, but to also recognise the efforts of all levels and sectors of the education system.

“We want as many nominations as possible so we can honour schools and individuals and celebrate the undoubted young talent that exists in our area.
