The Pearson National Teaching Awards

Established in 1999 by David, Lord Puttnam CBE, the Pearson Teaching Awards recognise and celebrate excellence in education, and share professional expertise. The Awards honour outstanding teachers and teaching and highlight just how vital success in education is to the health and wealth of the UK. Every day at the Pearson Teaching Awards Trust, we hear of exceptional teachers, lecturers, headteachers and teaching assistants who help students aim high and achieve their potential, often meeting and overcoming considerable challenges along the way. The Awards offer everyone the opportunity to say “thank you” to the teacher who has helped them most. Anyone can take part, children, students, parents, grandparents and colleagues can all go online and say thank you. In return, we will send a thank you card to each and every person or team of people who is thanked. Every “thank you”, then becomes a nomination for a Teaching Award. Our "Friends" network is open to anyone wishing to support, or be associated with, the Teaching Awards. Our "Fellows" network is a private group, for winners and current judges. Access is by invitation, or via 'request to join'. We ask Fellows to join the "Friends" group too, it allows those who wish to support, or get in touch with Fellows and Friends a way of connecting to our wider network. These networks together represent an exceptional cross section of leading education professionals, and those who have a profound interest in education.
