Thank a teacher now!
It's easy to do so if you know an amazing teacher, then why wait?

Here’s an outline of how the Teaching Awards works, from start to finish!
Anyone can send a thank you and we accept these all year round. Some are written messages and others are short video thank yous. Each teacher is sent a personalised thank you card with login details so they can go online and see who thanked them and what was said. Thank a teacher now…
Each thank you is a nomination for a Teaching Award. We ask the headteacher or a senior person from the school to endorse the nomination and tell us an appropriate category for the person.
In March and April, our team of expert judges sort through the thousands of entries from across our 7 regions and nations, select and visit finalists, then choose our winners. Find out who the judges are…
In June we send out celebration packs to schools and our judges, trustees and patrons are on hand to help out with the celebrating…they like that.
From June to September, the regional and national winners then go forward to our UK judging panel.
In October, we’ve got our own telly programme on BBC2 where we announce the UK winners and present them with a gold Plato. See some of the footage here…
