We were proud to be named Runners-up in the Alternative Provision Provider of the Year category – recognising the growing strength and quality of our work with students outside traditional educational settings.

Nominees in this category were assessed for:

At Bright Heart, our alternative provision is guided by our empathetic, nurturing approach. We focus on academic and emotional progress, personalised learning plans, and young people’s aspirations  – building self-esteem and confidence. This is overseen by our Education Consultants (with QTS) and delivered by our experienced and vetted tutors. With our increasing partnerships with local authorities and schools, and an emphasis on consistent and inclusive tuition, we’re thrilled that our work is being nationally acknowledged.

We were also honoured to be named Runners-up in the Tuition Business of the Year (£1m+) category for the third year in a row – continuing a remarkable track record:

Bright Heart’s mission has always been more than academic results. We combine care, dedication and personal connection to help each student flourish. Our continued recognition in this headline category reflects our team’s unwavering commitment to impact, and a business model grounded in ethical growth, quality, and inclusion.

SEND Tutor of the Year – Lulu Shortlisted

We were thrilled to celebrate our SEN tutor Lulu, who was shortlisted for SEND Tutor of the Year 2025. Lulu’s work with complex learners has been transformational, and her nomination continues Bright Heart’s strong record in this category – with Bright Heart tutors having won in both 2022 and 2023.

Lulu’s shortlisting speaks volumes about the depth of expertise, compassion and creativity across our tutor network. We’re incredibly proud of her and all the dedicated Bright Heart tutors who make a difference daily in the lives of students with additional needs.
