The 'Unsung Hero' Award
The ‘Unsung Hero’ Award aims to recognise the everyday heroes working in schools and colleges, giving them the thanks they deserve. It’s open to anyone working in your school, whether it’s a stand out teacher, friendly caretaker, playground helper or brilliant office receptionist!
It is the only award open to nominations from parents/carers and pupils so do spread the word amongst your school community and encourage them to send your staff a free thank you message via the Thank a Teacher campaign. We’ll then follow up with your school to progress the thank you into a fully fledged Pearson National Teaching Awards entry and who knows, we could be surprising you live on The One Show!
