For the last five years, we’ve been delighted to celebrate teachers up and down the country with the Ada Scotland Inspiring Teacher Award. This year, in response to demand, we’re expanding the eligibility to include educators from any sector: college and university lecturers, tutors, and, of course, teachers at both primary and secondary level, can all be nominated.

Thanks to our sponsors, we are delighted to be able to offer a hamper full of ethically-sourced goodies to the winner of this year’s updated award, as well as a new nifty-looking trophy!
