Innovation Awards earn £15,000 each for education initiatives

Narrowing the Gap
Four innovative social enterprises aimed at closing the achievement gap have each won £15,000 and a year of expert support at this year’s Teach First Innovation Awards.

They include an initiative that seeks to train parents and children about affordable and healthy cooking and a Graduate School of Education to help deliver Master’s-level courses for teachers.

The Innovation Awards were first set up in 2013 and seek to identify the “next big ideas” that will help teachers and schools to close the achievement gap between poorer students and their peers.

The four winners of this year’s awards will each receive £15,000 and a year of intensive support from Teach First to help develop their enterprises to make a greater difference to young people across the UK.

The four winners are Grub Club, the Graduate School of Education, Mindful Music, and Tales Toolkit.
