The Teaching Awards Trust 

The Teaching Awards honour outstanding teachers and teaching and highlight just how vital success in education is to the health and wealth of the UK. The Awards were established in 1999 by David, Lord Puttnam CBE, as a means of recognising and celebrating excellence in education.  

Every day at the Pearson Teaching Awards Trust, we hear of exceptional teachers, lecturers, headteachers and teaching assistants who help students aim high and achieve their potential, often meeting and overcoming considerable challenges along the way.

We also run the National Thank a Teacher Campaign which encourages people to send a free thank you e-card to anyone working in a school.

The videos here highlight some of the amazing work done by teachers every day in the UK.
