UKLA Awards

Long time sponsors of the UKLA Book Awards, LoveReading4Kids, have now developed an online bookshop with social purpose on their website www.lovereading4kids.co.uk. Now every book purchase will earn money for the UK school of your choice and, as a result of our new partnership with LoveReading, book purchases will also fundraise for UKLA.

Sponsored by Hays Recruitment, the Brenda Eastwood Award is for good practice in teaching for diversity and inclusion. Submissions for this award are now open until May 15th 2023 – 12am.
