Teachmate named EdTech Company of the Year

The nEdEx School & Trust Leaders’ Awards are judged by serving headteachers, trust executives and governors — the people who see every week whether a tool genuinely changes classroom life. That is what makes this recognition mean so much to the team.

An award shared with our community

Teachmate is shaped by the teachers who use it: every tool started as a real planning, marking or reporting problem raised by a school. The judges highlighted the platform’s education-first safety model and the measurable time given back to teachers each week.

Over 380,000 educators now use Teachmate, and school and trust partnerships have doubled in the last year. To every teacher who sent feedback, joined a webinar or told a colleague — this award is yours too.

Where we’re heading next

The year ahead brings deeper SEND support, richer curriculum alignment across all four UK nations and new tools built alongside our Ambassador community. The mission stays the same: give teachers their evenings back without compromising on quality or safety.
