A fabulous festival: A look back at 2026's AGM & TeacherActive Awards

On 21st August, colleagues from across TeacherActive came together at West Midlands Safari Park for our annual general meeting and TeacherActive Awards. With a festival theme, live music, karaoke and plenty more throughout the day, it was a brilliant opportunity to reconnect, reflect on our successes and, most importantly, celebrate the people and achievements that have made the past year one to be proud of.

Since 2005, the AGM has been an opportunity to celebrate those in our internal team who embody our core values: pride, passion, accountability, knowledge, and resilience. It’s an event that the whole internal team look forward to every year, allowing teams across England and Wales to come together and celebrate their achievements.

A huge congratulations to every member of TeacherActive for their achievements this academic year, and well done to all the nominees and winners.
