Teaching can be the most rewarding of jobs. But it comes with great challenges and the teaching profession as a whole is under more strain than ever.
Education Support Partnership is the charity for everyone working in education. And although we are here to help, not enough people working in education know they can turn to us if they need to.
At our recent comedy night, the comedians shared why they value teachers and how they might have made their teachers #laughorcry!
