Teaching Awards surprise 65 finalists on national Thank a Teacher Day

The excellence and dedication of teachers, support staff and school leaders from across the UK has been honoured as the national Teaching Awards unveiled this year’s Silver winners.

A total of 65 winners across 14 categories have been named this year, all of whom will now attend the Teaching Awards finals, which take place on October 21 in London and are televised on the BBC.

Following thousands of nominations, the Silver winners were revealed on Friday (June 22), on what has now become known as national Thank A Teacher Day.

The Teaching Awards were founded in 1998 by Lord Puttnam to recognise the life-changing impact an inspirational teacher can have.

Now known as the Pearson Teaching Awards, they are open to every school in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and the 65 Silver Award winners will attend the 20th national ceremony of the awards along with three Scottish Education Award winners and three winners of the Professional Teaching Awards Cymru. The winners will be taking home one of the famous Gold Plato Awards.
