Marshfield Primary Teacher, Shaukat Ali, has been recognised with a Silver Award for Teacher of the Year in a Primary School in this year’s Pearson National Teaching Awards. Chosen from thousands of nominees, Shaukat will now be in with the chance of winning the highly desired Gold Award, which will be announced at a prestigious awards ceremony in London and on BBC One’s The One Show later this year.
Shaukat consistently goes above and beyond to ensure every child reaches their full potential – socially, emotionally and academically. This national recognition follows his recent success in being named Teacher of the Year at the Telegraph & Argus (Bradford) Education Awards 2025 – a truly remarkable achievement.
Shaukat is one of 94 deserving teachers, lecturers, leaders, support staff and institutions recognised as a silver winner in this year’s awards for the lasting impact they have on shaping the lives of young people.
Zara Kearns, Head of Marshfield Primary School, proudly said “Shaukat’s passion and commitment to our school community is inspiring. He’s a leader, role model and force for good. I’m incredibly proud and happy for Shaukat”.
