“For the past couple of years, the teaching industry has felt the wrath of the pandemic, with ongoing absences and isolation requirements disrupting education for children and resulting in teachers feeling stretched out.

Therefore, we’re delighted this year to be sponsoring the National Schools Awards 2024, to reward the hard work and dedication of teaching professionals who have gone above and beyond, despite recent events.

Now more than ever it’s vital that education professionals are recognised and rewarded for their commitment, and by sponsoring these awards, we at Reed can show our appreciation.”

Gavin Beart, Divisional Managing Director for Education – Reed
