What the hosts have said Steve Lowe, sales director for LocaliQ, the digital marketing arm of Newsquest, said: “As we prepare for the Education Awards, I want to congratulate everyone in the education sector for the fantastic work you have all done in what we all know have been exceptionally challenging times for teachers, governors and support staff. Back in September, delayed from the spring we ran the awards to find the best from 2019, and those stories were amazing. “Now we have the stories behind how pupils, support staff and the schools themselves are impacted by the events of the past twelve months, yet we were still able to find those that go above and beyond, and it is for these reasons we are proud to be hosting the awards once again, even though it’s virtual and not in person.
