UK Parliament Teacher Network

Gold Teacher Ambassador Spotlight

The Teacher Ambassador Programme is our bi-annual immersive training experience for teachers across the UK. Each cohort of 65 successful ambassadors spend three days at Parliament, hearing from Members of both Houses as well as colleagues working in key roles within the organisation. Our ambassadors then return to cascade everything they’ve learned to their students, colleagues, and wider community, becoming partners of the UK Parliament Education and Engagement Service. To show us what they’ve achieved, the teachers submit portfolios showcasing their work and are awarded bronze, silver, or gold accreditation.

We're very excited to be able to share our latest Gold Teacher Ambassador portfolios over the coming months. We hope that they provide some inspiration for the important work you do with your students and encourage you to apply for the programme or submit your portfolio!
