Gateway Qualifications is delighted to announce that we have won the Educational Assessment Outcomes Award at the 2025 International e-Assessment Awards.

This prestigious award recognises our innovative work in delivering equitable digital assessments within the prison system. Our winning project, Equitable Assessment in Prisons, tackled the challenge of delivering Essential Digital Skills Qualifications (EDSQ) in secure environments without internet access. By working closely with partners and HMPPS, we developed a secure, digitally enabled assessment model that mirrors the experience of learners in the wider community.

A Milestone for Inclusive Assessment

The award was presented at the e-Assessment Awards ceremony on 10th June 2025, where Gateway was recognised for its commitment to inclusive and impactful assessment practices.

Fabienne Bailey, Chief Executive of Gateway Qualifications, said:

“This award is a testament to the creativity, resilience, and commitment of our team and partners. We are incredibly proud to have developed a solution that not only meets the needs of prison learners but also sets a new standard for inclusive assessment.”
