Recognition for PTAs who have taken significant steps to create an inclusive and accessible school environment.

About this award

Prize: £250

This award celebrates PTAs that actively ensure every child and family feels welcome, valued and able to participate fully in school life. It recognises PTAs that go above and beyond to support pupils with SEND/ALN and long-term health conditions by removing barriers, adapting activities, improving communications and working collaboratively to create inclusive opportunities for all families.
