Eligibility
The Linking with Schools Award is open to primary or middle schools and their partnership businesses who have a BH/DT postcode or are based in Dorset.
This Award can be entered by either the school or the business partnership.
Description of Award from the Sponsors
An educational award to the business that has established a positive partnership with a local school is entitled "Linking with Schools". Both the winning school and winning business will be presented with a Dorset Business Award.
Entry criteria
We would require each entry to be supported by the school and the partnership business.
We will be looking for a business that has established an ongoing positive relationship with a school (including a middle school) in Dorset, Bournemouth or Poole. This might take the form of regular work-experience, company visits or project work.
However, a business that has established a commercial relationship with a school that represents the main activity of the business would not be eligible for this award.
