The Favourite Teachers Awards - nominate the teacher who inspired you or your children

Reporter Sunday Star Times

From Dumbledore in Harry Potter, to Mr Holland in Mr Holland's Opus, to Miss Honey in Roald Dahl's famous Matilda, great teachers inspire us all.

Nominations are now open for the Favourite Teacher Awards – tell us about the teacher who has inspired you or your children.
