ClickView winners in the 2021 Education Resources Awards
ClickView is thrilled to announce we won two awards in this year’s Education Resources Awards (ERA):

These awards are recognition of the exceptional digital resources and service we provide to schools and colleges across the UK. We were also finalists in a further two categories:

What are the Education Resources Awards (ERA)?
Since 1997, the ERAs have celebrated outstanding educational products and resources, excellent educational establishments and the most dedicated members of the teaching profession and supplier industry. The awards focus on the resources, services and people that make a practical impact on learning and the day-to-day work of teachers in the classroom.
How are the awards judged?
ERA submissions are independently assessed by a panel of expert judges, including experienced and knowledgeable teaching professionals. Entries are assessed based on specific criteria tailored to each category.
ClickView submission highlights from 2021
Category: Secondary Resource - ICT (winner)
Category: Primary Resource - ICT (finalist)
These two separate categories reward exemplary ICT in each respective school phase. Here are some of our 2020-21 highlights that contributed to our success in these categories (secondary - winner and primary - finalist).
World-class, curriculum-aligned content for impactful learning
- With offices in both the UK and Australia, ClickView produces and license 1000s of curriculum-aligned videos across multiple subjects at all year levels.
- Accompanying educational resources, including lesson plans further extend and scaffold learning, while deepening engagement and understanding.
- By working with educators and pedagogical experts, we ensure content is curriculum-relevant and engaging for students, packaged in an innovative and inclusive platform.
- ClickView were highlighted by the DfE for remote learning support in multiple subject areas including Maths, Wellbeing and SEND.
The best of Broadcast TV
- Broadcast TV brings real-world context and relevance to lessons. We select and curate the most educationally relevant resources from 24 Freeview channels and 8 European satellite channels via the ‘ClickView Exchange’, a growing repository of over 20,000 videos.
Innovation
- While ClickView’s content has always been aligned to the English national curriculum, from March 2020, ClickView remapped its entire video library to Scotland’s curriculum – Curriculum for Excellence. Gap analysis also informed the commissioning of a series of Scotland-specific resources. This significant undertaking represents a huge step in ensuring educators across the UK have access to the best curriculum-relevant content.
- ClickView demonstrated innovation in content creation, pivoting production to rapidly launch a free series on Fake News, empowering students to deconstruct and question the news they consume. A topical new series on Respectful Intimate Relationships was also produced to support schools with the new RSE curriculum.

Real-time insights inform targeted planning and teaching to cater to individual learning needs and knowledge gaps.
Category: Outstanding Achievement During COVID-19 (winner)
We won the award in this category, celebrating the unsung heroes who supported pupils and the wider community during school closures and beyond. About ClickView’s COVID-19 response
- COVID-19 significantly impacted schools and education around the world. During remote learning, free access to hundreds of ClickView-produced videos and educational content was provided to all educators and families throughout the UK. This included core subject content in areas such as English and Maths, and more holistic PSHE-based support for young people. This forward-thinking decision was integral to maintaining learning momentum and connection during an extended period of remote learning.
- To support wellbeing, ClickView launched a campaign to help students take care of their mental health during lockdown, #WatchYourWellbeing.
- ClickView furthers its long-standing support of the Scottish education system as a partner in the delivery of the National e-Learning offer, ‘West OS’. ClickView’s world-class teaching and learning content is now available to every school across Scotland, providing access in a time of need.
