Excellent Teacher Awards 2026

Fostering North Yorkshire and This is the Coast have teamed up to shine a light on some of the Yorkshire Coast's Excellent Teachers.

Throughout June we are inviting families along the coast to nominate the teachers that have made a difference to their lives for a bit of recognition.

In July This is the Coast will be paying surprise visits to some of the teachers nominated to recognise them for the positive impact they have on their students lives.

So if your child's teacher has gone the extra mile and made a difference to your child's life this academic year then we want to hear about them. Simply fill in the form below to nominate your families favourite teacher for an Excellent Teacher Award.

Fostering North Yorkshire – Changing futures starts at home

Every day, ordinary people across North Yorkshire do something extraordinary and open their homes to change a young person’s life. Fostering is not about being perfect. It is about offering stability, encouragement, and the kind of everyday care that helps children and teenagers feel seen and supported

At Fostering North Yorkshire, you are never doing it alone. Our team is right beside you with training, practical advice, and ongoing support. You will also receive allowances for being a foster carer, so you can focus on what matters most: being there for them.

If you have room in your home, and space in your life, to support a child or teenager, we would love to hear from you. Whether you are just exploring the idea or ready to take the next step, we are here to help you discover what fostering could look like for you.
