The judges will base their decisions on the following criteria from all the nominations received:

• Outstanding improvement brought about by personal/team determination and ability, including overcoming barriers to progress
• Responsiveness to the needs of pupils or stakeholders
• Effective and imaginative use of resources, including, where appropriate, the use of information and communications technology
• Evidence of significant change and improvement
• Achievements that surpass expectations or go above and beyond someone’s day-to-day work
