Feoffees reward hard work of teacher and apprentice

The Feoffees of the Common Lands of Rotherham awarded their Level 3 apprenticeship award to Jasmine Harrison, who works for maintenance firm Equans.

A spokesperson for the charity said: “Since starting her course, Jasmine has developed significantly and she is described as approaching every task with interest and vigour.  

“Her employers believe she is a great asset to the team with her infectious approach and determination to succeed, particularly so because she is in what is mainly a male workforce.”

Jasmine, an apprentice electrician, was presented with her award by Nigel Elmhirst, the Feoffees Little Greave for 2022/23.  

The Feoffees’ teaching bursary award was made to Amy Leonard, who took up her first teaching position at Treeton CofE School last September.

The bursary is paid to outstanding newly qualified teachers who have taken up their first teaching position in primary or infant school in Rotherham and is organised in conjunction with the Institute of Education at Sheffield University.  

Amy is the fifth recipient of the bursary since its inception in 2016.

The Feoffees spokesperson said: “We wish her every success in the future and hope she enjoys significant personal benefit from the award.”
