ERA Award Winner

In March 2010, Philip Harris was delighted to receive a prestigious Education Resource Award for Acquire in the category of Secondary Resources - Including ICT.

"This is an extremely attractive tool for all areas of the secondary science curriculum. The handset is very easy to set up and use, it is highly responsive and the interface is intuitive and the screen is clear. The sensitivity of the sensors will bring science alive for students. Rapid changes occurring over seconds will inspire awe and enthusiasm in even the most science resistant student".

- ERA Judges

Organised by the British Educational Suppliers Association (BESA) and Affinity Media, the ERAs highlight the quality and diversity of educational products and resources, excellent educational establishments and the most dedicated members of the teaching profession and supplies industry, all working together to encourage the very best in education.

Ray Barker, director of BESA comments: "What sets the Education Resource Awards apart is that they aim to make the lives of teachers easier, by testing and identifying the best resources available to today's schools and classrooms. Schools can look to the finalists, and the soon-to-be-announced winners, as exemplary companies with practical products that are fit for purpose and provide real value for money."
