Everyday at the Teaching Awards Trust, we see amazing teachers, headteachers and teaching assistants who help students to achieve exceptional results, both academically and socially, often against the odds.
This is exactly what inspired Lord Puttnam to start the awards back in 1997 after spending time in classrooms around the country. Today, we're not just about giving awards, we are a charity that works in education to help young people realise their potential and to do this, we have two main projects.
