Winners were announced across 13 categories including a number of education professionals and initiatives.
The Inspirational Secondary Education Provision award went to The Cherrywood Centre, a support unit for autistic children at Benfield School in Newcastle.
Cherrywood opened in September 2013 and its pupils access as much of the mainstream curriculum as appropriate. It offers specialist support and therapies when necessary but also focuses on integrating pupils into the wider school.
There is no standard pathway, with the pupils following an individualised curriculum.
Ofsted endorsed the provision in May 2015 when the lead inspector said: “Cherrywood provides young people with opportunities and enhances their life chances by a considerable measure.”
