National charity PTI announces 2024 winners of the Martin Roberts Prize for outstanding new resources

The PTI announced in May the winners of the Martin Roberts Prize which celebrates outstanding new teaching resources. The PTI continues to support and celebrate teachers all over the UK, with a mission to help provide teachers with the tools to deliver quality education. The PTI strives to make impactful and lasting change within the education industry, helping to support teachers and provide them with all the tools and resources they need to supply an excellent education.

The late Martin Roberts was a founding member of the Academic Steering Group of The PTI and was instrumental in the establishment of The PTI’s New Teacher Subject Days courses.

Martin was Headteacher at the Cherwell School in Oxford for 22 years, managing its evolution from a secondary modern school with 300 pupils to a comprehensive school with 1,800 pupils judged “Outstanding” by Ofsted by the time he retired. He wrote many textbooks and articles and was a co-author of “Knowledge and the Future School”.

In his memory, The PTI established Martin Roberts Prizes in 2022 to celebrate the best new teaching resources created by course participants at New Teacher Subject Days.

Carolyn Roberts, Co-Director, the PTI said: “It has been inspiring to see the high-quality resources created by the Early Career Teachers on our New Teacher Subject Days courses this year. We are delighted for the teachers who was awarded the Martin Roberts Prize for their outstanding work. Loving their subject and devising interesting ways to teach it is the most important teacher skill. Focusing on this keeps teachers fresh and leads to long, rewarding and happy careers”.
