The Teaching Awards were founded in 1998 by Lord Puttnam of Queensgate and are managed by an independent charity, the Teaching Awards Trust.  The trust is funded entirely through sponsorship and grants. The success of the Awards relies on the generosity of our sponsors which include BT, the Guardian, Department for Children, Schools and Families, The Innovation Unit, National College for School Leadership, the Royal Air Force and the Training and Development Agency for schools.

"The truth, as all of us know, is that our future, and that of every child on the planet rests on our ability to invest every scrap of time and resource we have into building the type of educated global society we can all be proud of.  As teachers, you make your own contribution to that objective every day of your working lives. As a nation, we should be fantastically proud of you.  I know I am" 

Lord Puttnam of Queensgate
