ParentPay Appoints Emma Wilcox to Boost Digital Platform Use in Welsh Schools
ParentPay Group has appointed Emma Wilcox as Wales Partnership Manager to help schools in Wales make better use of existing digital platforms under budget and workload pressures. Meanwhile, the ETIH Innovation Awards 2026 are open for entries, celebrating excellence in global education technology.
Emma Wilcox, with experience as a school governor and former ParentPay user, understands the challenges schools face. Her role involves working with local authorities and schools to encourage more efficient use of systems like SIMS and the ParentPay platform, rather than additional purchases. This comes as ParentPay tools are already in place across many UK schools but often underused due to training and time constraints.
The ETIH Innovation Awards 2026, focusing on workforce development, AI integration, and innovative learning solutions, are open to organizations across the UK, the Americas, and internationally. Entries should highlight measurable impact in K-12 classrooms, higher education institutions, or lifelong learning settings. Winners and finalists will be featured in the first print magazine of the awards, distributed at BETT 2026, and announced on 14 January 2026 as part of an online showcase featuring expert commentary.
Emma Wilcox's appointment aims to improve digital platform usage in Welsh schools, while the ETIH Innovation Awards 2026 seek to recognize and showcase the best in global education technology, driving transformation in the sector.
