Ordnance Survey Awards

In recognition of excellence in geography education at the secondary level

Do you know any inspiring teachers?

Aimed at teachers and educators, the Society's Ordnance Survey Awards are in recognition of excellence in geography education at the secondary level.

Each year, the Society recognises the outstanding commitment to the geographical education community of two teachers, nominated by their peers.

If you know a teacher who inspires, guides and is deserving of this accolade, why not consider nominating them?

The deadline for nominations for 2025 is February 2025 (date TBC).
