Excitement builds as awards night nears

The contenders in this year’s Milton Keynes Education Awards have been chosen, and the judges are about to start the difficult task of choosing the winners.

Entries were up in all categories this year, the second year the awards have been held to celebrate the education sector in Milton Keynes and all who work in it.

Tickets are on sale for the awards night on Friday, July 5 when the finalists, their colleagues and friends, Headline Sponsors Brioche Pasquier and Facilities Management Solutions, category sponsors and invited guests will gather at the DoubleTree by Hilton at Stadium MK to find out who has won.

The evening will be hosted by dancer and choreographer Louie Spence, and guests will enjoy a three-course meal, the awards presentations and dancing to a DJ afterwards.
