These awards aim to acknowledge the essential roles that teachers, support staff, and early years educators play in shaping the lives of young people.

鈥淓very educator deserves acknowledgement for the exceptional impact they have in both their classrooms and the wider community, every day. The awards evening is a chance to take a moment to reflect on the incredible work happening in early years, schools and colleges across the UK, and celebrate all who make it happen.
