"Our Education Excellence Award Recipients demonstrate excellence in our learning and teaching priorities, and they also shape how we may further develop talent for submissions to the National Teaching Fellowship Scheme and Collaborative Awards for Teaching Excellence. None of us operates in a vacuum – we work together to achieve so much of the student experience – both learning and pastoral.We never fail to be impressed and excited by the innovation, commitment and flair described – be that in teaching spaces, in our wrap-around services, in the opportunities we create to nurture the aspirations of our students. The judging process is never easy - but always inspirational."
