The work we do wouldn’t be possible without the help of our schools and supporters. We’re grateful to all of you for helping us to spread the word about the Thank A Teacher campaign, ensuring that as many schools, teachers, school leaders and support staff as possible are thanked for their work in education.

We want to celebrate the professionalism, passion and commitment of our schools. It means so much to receive a thank you. One teacher told us: “I can’t put into words how touched I was to receive this today”. We want more people to know how much of a difference they are making to the lives of young people.

Encourage pupils, staff and parents to say “thank you” to someone amazing in your school or college. We’ll send each person thanked a lovely card with a personal message. Anyone can send a card; children, students, parents, grandparents and colleagues can all say thank you. The Thank a Teacher campaign recognises ALL staff working in schools; school leaders, teachers, teaching assistants, and all support staff such as lunchtime supervisors, caretakers and cleaners.

Did you know a thank you message can also be a springboard to a Pearson National Teaching Awards nominations?

The Unsung Hero award is the only award open to nomination from a parent/carer or pupil. You can read Unsung Hero nominations for your staff by logging in to your dashboard, where your headteacher or a member of SLT can progress the nomination into an entry.
