ILG wins prestigious award at StudyTravel Secondary School Awards 2026
We are proud to announce that our parent group, Inspired Learning Group (ILG), have recently won the ST Secondary School Award (Chain School) at the StudyTravel Secondary School Awards 2026.
A partner-voted award – and a meaningful one
The StudyTravel Secondary School Awards are a partner-voted celebration of performance across the growing secondary school study abroad sector, with voting involving educators, agents, associations and service providers. Being recognised by the partners we work with every day, from around the world, makes this award especially significant for ILG.
Voting for the 2026 awards took place over a two-month period, with schools voting for agency partners and agencies voting for school partners.
The Chain School category was highly competitive, and we are proud to have been recognised alongside an outstanding group of finalists from across the sector.
What this means for RHS
Whilst this award recognises Inspired Learning Group as a whole, it directly reflects the work taking place in individual schools like the Royal Hospital School. Our colleagues benefit from shared expertise and strong professional support, whilst still retaining the distinctive ethos, community and values that make RHS so special.
At a time when the independent schools sector is experiencing increasing pressure, belonging to a well established and successful group such as ILG places RHS in a particularly strong position. ILG provides stability, strategic leadership and long term investment, ensuring that our school is well supported, resilient and able to plan confidently for the future.
This stability allows us to focus on what matters most: providing a high quality, values led education in a nurturing environment where every pupil can thrive.
