It was a night of joy and triumph at Winchester’s Great Hall this month, as the second annual Hampshire Education Awards brought together the cream of the county’s school staff and volunteers to celebrate excellence and achievement.
Councillor Roz Chadd, Hampshire County Council’s Executive Member for Education and Skills, said: “I am delighted to hear of the exceptional work of teachers, and support staff both in and out of the classroom, as well as the volunteers in Hampshire schools — supporting Hampshire pupils to grow into young people of whom we can all feel proud. This is an opportunity to say a very special thank you to every member of staff, governor and volunteer.”
More than 50 teachers, support staff and governors were recognised in the awards, which were judged by teachers, headteachers and college principals. The awards were open to Hampshire-maintained and academy schools, and for the first time this year, Hampshire’s post-16 colleges.
The awards and recipients are:
Laying the Foundations: Ali Rowell (Redlands, Fareham);
Education Leadership: Krista Dawkins (Crestwood, Eastleigh);
