Stars in Our Schools is an annual celebration of school support staff. This year the event will take place on Friday 29 November 2024 – but we encourage schools to join in whenever suits them!

It takes a whole team to make a school a safe and happy place for all children. School support staff help children learn, keep them safe and happy and make sure schools run smoothly. They are the caterers, admin staff, finance officers, teaching assistants, librarians, ICT technicians and many more roles.

Schools across the UK will plan a range of activities including coffee mornings, tea parties and special assemblies to say thank you to support staff.

This celebration day is for everyone to get involved: parents, carers, teachers, head teachers, as well as the support staff themselves.
