Education's time to shine

“Winning the award has been a great celebration of all the hard work everyone in my school has put in over the last year. I decided to become a teacher because I wanted to change education and make it better for our children so I hope I can continue on this path and create positive changes across education during my career.”

“One special moment which I must share with you, was when we showed the whole school the Classroom Heroes TV footage in assembly last week, as many of the children had clearly not yet seen it. They absolutely loved it as they saw themselves, their friends and their teachers on TV and clapped and cheered along as though they were present at the ceremony themselves! A truly magical moment."

“It was an honour to be recognised by fellow colleagues and to be appreciated by parents and pupils. As a result of the Award, my school has gained positive publicity and I have come in contact with some really fabulous fellow award winners who have now become good friends- we share experiences and good practice.”

“Not a day has gone by since the school was nominated for the award that it hasn’t been mentioned. To our pupils it means the world and they are proud to attend our school. The power of this wave of emotion, after years of undiscovered potential, can never be underestimated and for the staff personally nothing has ever meant so much.”

“Being part of the Teaching Awards has been a wonderful experience for our school and community. The judging process was rigorous and affirmed our judgements of the school by involving all stakeholders. Thank you!”

“It was an absolute wonderful feeling to be awarded the silver winner award. The response from staff, pupils and parents was genuine and left me feeling quite emotional. I work in a fantastic school with staff that support each other and aim to provide the best for their pupils. This award, although for me, is testament to the hard work and genuine care all staff at the school provide.”
