Bucksmore Young Leaders shortlisted for an ELTon Award!

In 2015 our celebrated Young Leaders syllabus was shortlisted for a Bri0sh Council ELTons award for ‘Innova0on in Learner Resources’. Although narrowly missing out on the top prize to Oxford University Press, to be considered in the same class as such highlyesteemed academic bodies demonstrates the trailblazing excellence of the Young Leaders programme, par0cularly as Bucksmore was the only summer school provider to be nominated for any award.

The ELTons (English Language Teaching Innova0on Awards), are the only interna0onal awards that recognise and celebrate innova0on in English language teaching (ELT). They reward educa0onal resources that help English language learners and teachers to achieve their goals.
