Join the whole of the UK in celebrating National Thank a Teacher Day on Thursday 26th May. This day is dedicated to all the schools and colleges at the heart of our communities, from the teachers helping us make sense of the world to all the wonderful support staff keeping things running.
There are heaps of ways to get involved, from sending free thank you cards and entering our celebrity competitions to enjoying our free on-the-day activities (you can download these below).
To celebrate National Thank a Teacher Day, you can send a free personalised limited edition e-card to anyone working in a school. Whether it’s an amazing teacher, stand out member of support staff, or a whole school team, let them know why you appreciate them.
We’ll also be selecting a few of our favourite thank you’s, to receive prizes for their teachers, including:
There’s also a special prize for the UK’s most thanked school. So get thanking!
