Surprise news from the BBC
Children celebrating with Tracey
Teaching Assistant Tracey Kildea was at home recovering from a spell in hospital when she got a big surprise - a phone call from the BBC.
Points West presenter Ali Vowles, who had just come off stage at the Teaching Awards ceremony in the Assembly Rooms, Bath, stunned Tracey with the news that she'd won a plato.
Tracey listened while Ali read out the Teaching Awards script that explained why she had won her award. 'I can't believe it,' said Tracey later, 'I'm so sorry I wasn't there!'
The happy ending was complete when Caroline Evans, Teaching Awards chief executive, and Poppy O'Shaughnessy, winners' manager, visited an assembly at May Park Primary School in Bristol to present Tracey with her plato.
