Judges' decisions on finalists

After 1300 hours in more than 140 schools, our 410 judges have completed their work and reached decisions about the finalists for the 2008 Teaching Awards.
Judging teams, which include TA fellows from the past decade and our current sponsors, have been in scores of classrooms and met hundreds of pupils, parents and governors, all supporting their endorsed nominations.
Judging panels in the 11 English regions, Wales and Northern Ireland have met, confirmed results and written reports. All that remains to be done now is for the finishing touches to be put to the three-week tour which hosts 13 ceremonies around Britain, starting at Canterbury Cathedral on June 10.
'We're really looking forward to the tenth anniversary tour,' said chief executive Caroline Evans, 'and to shine a light on the unsung heroes in schools all around the country.'
