A wonderful way to celebrate those working in education across Kent and Medway
Recognising the critical role that educators and school staff play in shaping the future of children across Kent & Medway, the Kent Education Awards (formerly Kent Teacher of the Year Awards) acknowledge their hard work and dedication.
By honouring exemplary teachers and support staff, we celebrate the positive impact they have on students’ lives. This recognition not only motivates educators but also fosters a sense of pride and camaraderie within the educational community, ultimately benefiting the young learners they serve.
To nominate simply tell us what makes the person/team within your school community stand out from the rest!
Nominations are open to parents, students, and peers, if you know someone who deserves recognition, we encourage you to submit a nomination. With a wide range of award categories, including primary, secondary, early careers, non-teaching members of staff, and volunteers, there’s an opportunity to recognise everyone who makes a difference in our schools and in our children’s lives.

Feedback
What a fantastic evening, so many inspirational stories and brilliant teachers!
It was not only nice to see my community proud (there were definitely some wet eyes when I read their facebook comments when it was announced to our families) but also seeing the pride from my own family and my two sons is something that will never leave me.
Also personally I just want to say thank you once again for choosing me and our school as a 2023 winner. It has been the most overwhelming experience.
