National recognition for 'extraordinary' teachers and staff
HEROES and headteachers and everything in between – an education trust is celebrating the achievements of 24 members of staff who have been recognised on the national stage.
Wickersley Partnership Trust saw the employees recognised at this year’s Pearson National Teaching Awards which celebrate excellence in education across the UK.
Among those recognised was Janice Thompson, a teacher at Wickersley School and Sports College, who was named a Bronze Winner in the Lifetime Achievement category.
In addition, four colleagues received Highly Commended status, while a further 19 staff members were awarded Certificates of Achievement across a range of categories, including Headteacher of the Year, Teacher of the Year, Teaching Assistant of the Year and Unsung Hero.
Helen O’Brien, chief executive officer at Wickersley Partnership Trust, said: “Our WPT workforce is full of extraordinary teachers and support staff who continually go above and beyond for our young people, and it’s fantastic to see this recognised on a national level once again.”
