Finding the right school for their child is even more important for relocating families as mobility and business travel picks up for international organisations following the pandemic. As employers and employees embrace the new normal, following the experience of lockdown and the importance of online education, flexibility, safety and wellbeing are at the forefront of decision making for parents.
This Award recognises quality education for mobile families and reflects how, a successful, timely and stress-free relocation supports talent retention, promotes employer brand and delivers employee engagement for best practice organisations.
The school should demonstrate how it provides outstanding education and support to relocating pupils and their families throughout their time at the school, as well as to international students electing to study outside of their native country.
Examples of flexibility and choice around admissions, an understanding of the employer’s, employee’s and family’s perspective and the importance of transition care are welcome.
Schools entering this category should be able to demonstrate an ethos of global mindedness and understanding of the future of work and career opportunities for young people, as well as offer support in areas such language/native language tuition, cross-culture and access to relocation resources for families. This category is also open to education consultants.
The judges will be looking for proof of consistently high standards and excellent service – for example, customer/client testimonials, feedback forms and/or survey results. Evidence of flexibility and choice to support a high quality and transferable global education is requested.
Subject to sufficient breadth of entries, we will subdivide this category to reward schools and education consultants.
This award is open to state, independent and international schools from any country and to individuals and organisations that offer a specialist education service to the families of relocating employees. The award is relevant to those that provide educational consultancy and/or support to families on the move, locally, regionally or globally.
