About us
Who we are
The Teaching Awards Trust is a national charity founded in 1998 by Lord David Puttnam CBE, to celebrate and recognise excellence in education. We work in education through 2 main projects: The “Thank-a-Teacher” campaign which encourages young people, parents and fellow teachers to say “thank you” to a teacher who has really made a difference in their lives and the Pearson National Teaching Awards, an annual awards scheme that recognises outstanding educational professionals from across the UK.
