Red Kite Teacher Training Celebrates Shortlisting Success at NASBTT Awards 2026
Posted 12th November 2026
There was plenty to celebrate for Red Kite Teacher Training at the NASBTT Awards 2026, with Director Victoria Lickley shortlisted for the prestigious Services to the Sector Award. The shortlist recognises individuals who have made a significant and sustained contribution to initial teacher training and the wider profession.
Held at BMA House, London, the awards brought together teacher training providers from across the country to recognise excellence, share best practice and celebrate the collective impact of the sector.
For Red Kite Teacher Training, the event was also an opportunity to reflect on the progress being made across the partnership, including ongoing work to strengthen diversity and inclusion within teacher recruitment and training.
"While the nomination was made in my name, it really reflects the contribution of so many people. I'm fortunate to work alongside colleagues, mentors and school leaders who are deeply committed to helping trainees flourish. The event was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate that shared commitment and the impact it has on the future of our profession."

Reflecting on the event, the team described 5 November as a day to remember, celebrating Vicki's national recognition, hearing from inspiring speakers and connecting with colleagues from across the sector. The conference also provided an opportunity to showcase the work taking place across the partnership, including its commitment to widening participation and creating inclusive pathways into teaching.
Congratulations to Vicki on this well-deserved recognition and to all those recognised at this year's awards for their contribution to the future of teacher training.
