Written by The Classical Association Teaching Awards aim to recognise outstanding teaching and/or innovative pre-university education initiatives.
Prizes of £500 each are awarded annually to individuals or school/college-based projects whose work is felt to have had a significant and positive impact on the teaching of Classics in the UK. With huge thanks to our award sponsor, Cambridge University Press and part-sponsor, the National Extension College.
Nominations generally fall into one of the following categories:
– Lifetime Achievement
– Outstanding State Sector Initiative
– Outstanding New Teacher (in teaching for up to three years)
– Innovative Pedagogy
– Making Classics More Inclusive
This year, we’ve created a new award; The Cross-Sector Partnerships Award; that aims to celebrate the independent schools who are fostering cross-sector initiatives within their local community. The £500 prize award will be awarded to support the ongoing development of the project.
Process and eligibility: Please note that nominations from last year won’t carry over to this year so please ensure you make your nomination via this form before the closing date – Friday 6th March 2026: CA Teaching Awards 2026 – Fill out form.
