Summer 2026 EdTech Impact Awards – Winners
EdTech Impact is proud to announce the winners of the Summer 2026 EdTech Impact Awards – a recognition built entirely on the verified voices of educators.
Every year, schools make difficult decisions about which technology to invest in. The EdTech Impact Awards recognise the solutions that have genuinely proven their worth where it matters most: in classrooms, staffrooms, and school offices, as judged by the educators using them every day.
This cycle’s winners were determined using our 13 Impact Metrics – a framework developed in partnership with University College London – covering everything from student knowledge and attainment to teacher wellbeing and school efficiency. To be eligible, a product must have received reviews from at least 15 unique schools in the last 6 months.
A huge congratulations to this year’s winners. Through independently collected, verified reviews, they have demonstrated not only excellence in their field, but also the trust of the schools they serve.

How the Awards Work
There is no entry fee, nor shortlisting committee, nor mystery panel for the EdTech Impact Awards. Every award reflects one thing only: what educators have said about the products they use.
Our 13 Impact Metrics were designed in partnership with University College London to give educators a precise, structured way to describe the outcomes they observe — from student attainment to teacher workload, from parent engagement to school processes. To qualify for an award, a product must have received verified reviews from a minimum of 15 unique schools during the review period. Winners in each category are the solutions that scored highest on the relevant impact metric.
This meaningful recognition is a signal to schools that a product has genuinely proven its worth — across real classrooms, in real contexts, reported by the people who matter most.
