Tes Schools Awards 2019: the shortlist

Excitement is growing ahead of one of the biggest nights of the education year: the Tes Schools Awards.

The awards celebrate the amazing commitment, quality and innovation shown by teachers and support staff in state and independent schools across the UK. Today, we can reveal the individuals and institutions who are in the running for this year’s prizes.

The glamorous ceremony will take place on Friday 21 June at the elegant Grosvenor House hotel in central London.

The awards recognise the extraordinary work of teachers and schools who are raising educational standards and making a positive impact on the personal and academic success of their students and the wider community. This time, they will be bigger than ever, covering 19 categories including primary school, secondary school and headteacher of the year.

There are two new awards for 2019: classroom support assistant of the year and school business manager of the year.

Being shortlisted is a huge achievement in itself and winning can be transformative. Caroline Keep, 2018 new teacher of the year, describes the experience as “incredible”.

“When the amazing judging panel shortlisted me, I felt validated in the work I have been doing tirelessly,” she says. “I was ecstatic!” Then, when she won, it took a week for the news to sink in.

“Teaching can be an intensive career - we all have days that feel difficult while we’re trying to give 100 per cent,” she says. “There is nothing like praise for hard work from other educators. It’s given me a new determination that classroom teachers can work hard and be innovative, and that will be recognised.”

Tes editor Ann Mroz says: “Teaching is the most important and rewarding job you can do, but we all know it can sometimes be tough. That’s why it’s crucial that we celebrate the incredible work that schools and teachers do, up and down the country, day in, day out.

“The Tes Schools Awards have been recognising the life-changing contribution that teachers make for over a decade, and this year’s awards will be bigger, better and more fabulous than ever.”
