Quote from the judges:

“A powerful example of innovation and artistic integrity, driven by a distinct creative voice shaped by lived experience, and brought to life through ambitious, thought-provoking projects tackling real-world issues. Through national teacher development and specialist practice, this work extends far beyond the classroom. As a role model championing diversity and identity, it is not only inspiring but truly outstanding, joyful, expansive, and profoundly mind-opening for the children.”
