AWARDS: TES Sponsors “Member of Staff” Category at National Awards for Pastoral Care In Education
The UK’s leading publication for the education sector has sponsored the first ever National Awards For Pastoral Care In Education.
The media organisation – once known as Times Educational Supplement – has sponsored the Pastoral Member of Staff Award and entries have been pouring in ahead of the closing date on March 2nd.
TES was founded in 1910 and now publishes a weekly magazine and runs a dynamic website delivering the latest news and insights to the teaching profession.
A spokesperson for TES said: “TES’s mission is to support and connect teachers and schools worldwide, helping them to improve children’s lives through education. It is an international provider of software enabled services to schools and teachers.
“With more than 13 million teachers in our online community and working relationships with 25,000 schools in over 100 countries, it has the scale to make a difference.
“Tes helps schools find the teachers they need; it brings new teachers into the profession through initial teacher training; it provides teachers with continuous professional development and tools to help them succeed in the classroom; it brings educators together online so they can share expertise and it provides them with vital news and information about education.”
A host of other influential organisations have lined up to support the first National Awards For Pastoral Care In Education which launched last year including the Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL), Blue Sky Education, The Thrive Approach and Taylor and Francis.

The Awards will be an excellent opportunity to share good practice in pastoral care and through the social media and websites of both organisations to raise awareness of where pastoral support is making a real difference in the educational experience of young people.
The awards will encourage new initiatives and ideas in pastoral care and will recognise the contributions being made to developing policy and practice in pastoral support.
