Get Ready for Thank a Teacher Day with Our Resources

Our campaign celebrates the hard work of staff in early years, schools, and colleges across the UK. Open year-round, it encourages everyone in the UK to recognise the impact that the education community has in shaping the futures of our young people. National Thank a Teacher Day is our annual call to action, and these resources are designed to help everyone get involved and build excitement. We encourage you to share the campaign with your networks and invite them to send a free personalised e-card to a teacher, support staff member, or education team who has made a difference. Together, we can help ensure as many teachers and support staff as possible feel recognised and appreciated on National Thank a Teacher Day.

In the run-up to National Thank a Teacher Day, use our graphics, videos, and suggested posts to help build excitement and encourage others in your community to get involved. On the day itself, share your celebrations, shout-outs, and thank you messages using our special day-of assets, including templates, and downloadable frames. Make sure to follow us on Facebook, LinkedIn, X and TikTok and use #ThankaTeacherDay
