Standard for Provisional Registration: The George D Gray Award

The George D Gray Award recognises the most distinguished assignment by a student teacher completing an undergraduate Primary teacher education programme in Scotland.  

Assignments are judged on: academic distinction;how the research and thinking involved aligns with the Standard for Provisional Registration; and how the candidates for the award have demonstrated their preparedness for entering the induction phase of their teaching career.

The award is presented by GTC Scotland under the terms of a trust fund which was set up by Dr Ethel Gray, the widow of George D Gray, as a memorial to her husband. Widely regarded as being responsible for securing government support for setting up GTC Scotland, George D Gray was also our first Registrar.
