Capita SIMS Independent has announced it has signed a two-year deal as headline sponsors of the prestigious Independent School Awards.
Now in their third year, these are the only awards solely dedicated to
the independent education sector. The awards recognise excellence in the
strategic and financial management of fee-paying schools delivering
British education across the UK and abroad. Entries for 2012 have more
than doubled since their launch in 2010.
Julie Booth,
head of SIMS Independent, said: “British fee-paying schools are
considered among the best in the world and the Independent School Awards
provide a wonderful opportunity for them to celebrate their
achievements.
“The level of commitment in our schools to delivering the highest
standards of teaching and learning should be championed and we are
delighted to be a part of what has become such an important fixture on
the independent education sector’s calendar. I wish all this year’s
entrants the very best of luck.”
Entries to this year’s awards will be judged in 12 categories and a list
of finalists will be revealed in September 2012. The winners will be
announced at a black tie event to be held on 14 November 2012 at the
National Motorcycle Museum, Birmingham.
Andrew Maiden, editor of Funding for Independent Schools magazine and
organiser of the Independent School Awards, said: “The quality of
British education being delivered in our schools is the envy of the
world and the awards are designed to help raise the profile of some of
our best institutions. Capita SIMS Independent is committed to
developing the technology and services independent schools need to run
efficient and effective businesses and we are thrilled that they have
come on board to support the event.”
