The best schools and teachers across the country have been shortlisted in this year’s Tes Schools Awards.
The Tes Schools Awards, which have been dubbed the ‘Oscars of education’, is a prestigious awards programme that celebrates the best of education across the UK, and Oxford High Prep School has been shortlisted in the Independent Prep School of the Year category.
The Tes Schools Awards recognises the best teachers and schools from UK state and independent schools across early years settings – primary and secondary.
The shortlist was compiled by a panel of judges, including school leaders and experts. The schools and teachers they chose showcase the best of education across the sector within 21 award categories, covering all areas of school education.

Oxford High Prep School’s inclusion in the Tes Schools Awards 2024 shortlist underscores its position as a leader in the field of independent education.
Mrs Jessica Williams, Head of Oxford High Prep School, expressing her excitement about the announcement, said: “Being shortlisted for the Tes Awards is a tremendous honour and a testament to the dedication and innovative spirit of our entire school community. We are proud of the transformative educational experiences we offer our students and thrilled to be recognised for our efforts.”
Jon Severs, Editor of Tes Magazine, said: “Congratulations to all the shortlisted entries – the standard was so high this year despite the challenges schools face. It is critical that we celebrate excellence and share it widely, so we can ensure that the fantastic work happening in education is properly recognised.”
Winners will be announced on Friday, 21 June, at a glittering gala awards night at the Grosvenor Hotel, Park Lane, in London.
