Win £500 for your school
and a £500 donation in your school’s name!
As part of our partnership with BBC Children in Need, IRIS Education are offering schools the chance to win £500 to spend on whatever their school needs. Plus, if you win, we’ll donate £500 to BBC Children in Need in your school’s name too. Win-win!
To get involved, your school needs to take part into one of the competitions below.
Our competition opens Friday 19th November and ends Saturday 27th November. We look forward to seeing your entries…
Primary schools, dress to the nines
If you’re entering as a primary school, all you need to do is organise a Fancy Dress Friday for 19th November. Whether you go all out, dig out a pair of odd socks or simply pop on some Pudsey ears; we want to see what you rock.
Secondary schools, thinking caps on
For secondary schools, there’s the Dragon’s Den Challenge. Either as a form or with friends, pop £1 each in a starter kitty and get creative by coming up with fundraising business ideas to grow your total for BBC Children in Need. Simple!
Enter in 3 simple steps
Snap photos of your school in fancy dress. Or photos of them fundraising and the total raised.

When it comes to winners, our celebrity guest judge will choose two primary schools and two early years schools, and a leading entrepreneur will choose two secondary schools.
Each school will win £500 each, plus we’ll donate £500 to BBC Children in Need from each winning school.
