Back in 2008 I was proud to receive one of two OS Awards for Excellence in Secondary Geography Teaching awarded each year by the Royal Geographical Society. The other award that year went to Louise Ellis.

It's time for nominations for all the RGS's awards for 2026, and that includes the OS Award as well.
Do you have colleague who is particularly amazing and deserves some recognition for all they do for the geography subject community?
Perhaps they are your Head of Department, a member of your department or faculty, a fellow committee member, or someone you look to online for support, inspiration and resources.
Why not nominate them for a Royal Geographical Society teaching award?
Each year, the RGS acknowledges two teachers or educators through our Ordnance Survey Award for excellence in geography education at secondary level.
Nominations for 2026 close on 16 February, so be sure to get your nominations in before then!

And there's a list of previous recipients on the RGS website so that you can check that they haven't already been given one... although I suppose there's no reason they couldn't be the first person to receive more than one....
There's some illustrious names on that list, and I know almost everyone there, and have worked with many of them in some way.
