Jigsaw Education Group recently attended the BESA Awards 2024.

The BESA Awards serve as a celebration of leadership and innovation, showcasing unrivalled excellence exhibited by BESA members in the educational suppliers sector. With entries from across the industry, the BESA Awards are a testament to the profound positive influence BESA members exert in enhancing the educational outcomes of children across the globe. We were so pleased to be shortlisted among such strong nominees, and announced as winners in the Outstanding Support  Service category. We are so proud that our school support team has been recognised for their incredible dedication. 

"It was an honour to attend the Besa Conference and be surrounded by educators, educational suppliers and so many educational representatives that were there to improve all children’s educational journey.  I was particularly interested in the panel discussion regarding bridging the procurement gap between suppliers and schools and mats.The panellists helped me to understand how best to approach schools regarding their subscriptions and what schools are looking for from the perspective of the bursars/school business managers and the teachers on the front line. 

As this day was held whilst the country was busily voting, many predictions and insights were offered regarding how the educational system will fair under each party.  We had a wonderful SENCO as our Table Talk partner who discussed the difficulties in schools around absenteeism, mental health and engagement with families which highlighted our need to promote our incredible Jigsaw Families Programme more.

After a morning of learning and networking I was delighted to be part of the afternoon awards and ecstatic that Jigsaw and especially our School Support Team were duly recognised for their hard work and dedication in promoting, supporting schools, parents and ultimately children in both PSHE and RE."
