There is no better way to celebrate and reward your incredible MAT colleagues! Show your huge appreciation for the hard work, commitment and impact they continue to make across your MAT.
Nominate your outstanding colleagues today across our three categories below:
- MAT Leadership Award
This MAT leader has demonstrated the ability to inspire and motivate others, and to lead positive, impactful, tangible change within the MAT - Unsung Hero Award
This colleague has demonstrated the positive impact of their work in the MAT and or within the community, often without seeking or receiving recognition - MAT Innovation & Impact Award
This colleague has demonstrated an enormous dedication to ongoing school and MAT improvement, designing and implementing innovative strategies, solutions and tangible impact across the MAT
Every colleague you nominate (with no exceptions) will be celebrated via our social media posts on LinkedIn and X, our hugely popular Rave Reviews online catalogue and of course shared with your MAT too!
For every nomination you make, (with no limits) you and your nominee will be invited to choose/select a number of free, award-winning products or services for your MAT, courtesy of our evidence-backed education solution providers.
Every nominated colleague will be recognised and celebrated – but we will also have 1 winner from each of the 3 categories, each and every term that will be selected by us.
Each of the 3 winners, every half term, will win a box of chocolates and an engraved trophy presented to them by The Education Showroom, as well as 3 months FREE membership to CSSC’s award-winning benefits which includes:

“The Education Showroom has been a game changer for us. We’ve been matched with some great education solution providers and we have implemented a number of their systems and processes across our Trust.
The Education Showroom has provided me with a really convenient way to get in touch with suppliers.“
Matt Freeston – CEO, The LEARNERs’ Trust
“The Education Showroom has been a lifesaver. We get to see a variety of solution providers based on our schools’ needs – it’s such a time saver.
I have purchased products via The Education Showroom and I would have not found them if I had to Google and source them myself!“
Melanie Johnson, Deputy Headteacher, John Gulson Primary School
“I find the 1-to-1 meetings and events very useful and I love the format and the fact they are tailored to my MATs requirements! It is great to have a dedicated conversation with suppliers that are matched to your needs!”
Steven Groutage – Chief Operating Officer, Tudor Grange Academies Trust
“By simply joining The Education Showroom’s event my eyes were opened to a system that can 100% meet our needs which, had I not signed up, I wouldn’t have known about!“
Nicky Lake – Deputy Headteacher – Germander Park School
“I have commissioned more education solutions through The Education Showroom than any other provider. I would highly recommend The Education Showroom to other Trust leaders, this is so much better than walking round a physical event, trying to find relevant education suppliers at the quality of the ones I meet at The Education Showroom.“
Nic Brindle – CEO, The YES Trust
“The online 1-to-1 meetings provided by The Education Showroom are extremely helpful and time-effective for me as a CEO. The ability to share my specific areas of need and growth for my MAT and be matched with relevant high quality providers for 1-to-1 focused meetings is a service I would recommend to every CEO and MAT leader. I will continue to use The Education Showroom as my route to new products and services across the education sector.”
Peter Ashworth – CEO Cidari Multi-academy Trust
“The Education Showroom is an excellent tool for Headteachers, saving us time by looking at what products are out there and bringing them to us. I am amazed at the resources that are available that I had absolutely no idea about!”
Fiona Robinson – Headteacher, Bensham Manor School
“I enjoyed meeting with suppliers and listening to a bespoke sales pitch about what was on offer for my school. It was good to have the time to look at a product on the screen without having to go anywhere. I also had the opportunity to ask lots of questions.“
Christina Wilkinson – Headteacher, St. Andrews CE Primary School
“The Education Showroom are so in tune with schools and make valuable recommendations of products, services and solutions to support my role as a Headteacher.“
Gareth Whitaker – Headteacher, Settle College
“It was great to see some really interesting education companies. We have budget constraints but the 20% discount offered by The Education Showroom after attending an event really does help & is much appreciated.”
Bethany Stanley – Headteacher Aiskew, Leeming Bar CE Primary School
“I find The Education Showroom online events extremely beneficial as they highlight solution providers and opportunities that are out there that I wouldn’t normally be aware of, keeping my school up to date and inline with where we should be.“
Francesca Dodd – Headteacher, Hadfield Infant School
“The Education Showroom’s online events are a brilliant way to get to know companies & find out what they have to offer schools. This is so much better than an email flying into my inbox that I will delete. I have started using two new companies that I met on an event, in the last few weeks!“
Sarah Kellett – Deputy Head Teacher, St Ignatius Preston
“These online events and 1-to-1 tailored meetings are an excellent way to engage with potential partners, this is the very best way to meet education solution providers.”
