Established by the Teaching Awards Trust (an independent charity chaired by Lord Puttnam CBE) Teaching Awards publicly acknowledge and celebrate the crucial role that teachers play in the lives of our children and our future as a nation. The Teaching Awards Trust was established in 1998 as a registered charity and through the Teaching Awards programme the Trust aims to:
- recognise, reward and share good practice;
- highlight the benefits of choosing to join the profession;
- celebrate the process of teaching – on a national platform and in every community across the country;
- encourage the media to give positive coverage of the extraordinary work of ordinary teachers.
The Trust is supported by all the major political parties and by all the teaching unions and associations in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. In addition, the BBC is committed to supporting the Teaching Awards by covering relevant events on radio and television throughout the process.
