LAMBETH WINS BUILDING SCHOOLS FOR FUTURE AWARD
The Michael Tippett School was selected for the special judges prize from amongst the schools, local authorities, and private sector partners shortlisted for the awards celebrating achievement across all areas of the national programme to transform education.
Tim Byles, Chief Executive of PfS and Chair of the Excellence in BSF Awards judging panel, said: “It sounds like a cliché to bemoan what a difficult job the judging panel had selecting the winners, but in the case of our first Excellence in BSF Awards this was absolutely true.
“If choosing the shortlist from the 70-plus entries was hard enough, selecting the final winners was a real challenge for the panel as each and every entry had something to recommend it. The nominations showcased BSF as a catalyst for exciting and sustainable design in both new and remodelled schools, innovation in how students get involved in transforming their learning environment, and examples of robust partnerships and new leadership teams emerging.
“Each of the 11 winners of the first Excellence in BSF awards are shining examples of the difference BSF can make, but for the judges one project shone more brightly than the rest and that is our Grand Prix winner, the Michael Tippett School.
“The school for students with profound and multiple learning difficulties has been specifically designed for their special needs – and in the eight months it has been open teachers and parents have already noticed the positive impact of the new learning environment on these young people.
“However, the truth is that the real winners are the students, teachers and communities who will benefit from safe, inspiring and green places to learn thanks to BSF, and that is certainly something worth celebrating.”
