Wellington School is thrilled to have been shortlisted for three Tes Awards 2024.
The best schools and teachers across the country have been shortlisted in this year’s Tes Schools Awards. Dubbed the ‘Oscars of education’, it is a prestigious awards programme which celebrates the best of education across the UK. It has now been revealed that Claire Davies has been shortlisted for Subject Lead of the Year, Roger Hitchin for Primary Curriculum Leader and Lindsey Stanton for Teaching Assistant of the Year.
The Tes Schools Awards recognises the very best teachers and schools from UK state and independent schools, across early years settings, primary and secondary.
Headmaster Eugene du Toit commented, “We are immensely proud of those colleagues who have been shortlisted for this year’s TES awards. That we have teachers and support staff, in both the Prep and Senior School settings, confirms Wellington School’s high quality, all-through provision. It is an added delight that Wellington has been announced as a national finalist by the Boarding Schools Association for its service to the community, and we congratulate our Year 11 pupil for being shortlisted for the Khadija Saye Photography Award.”
The shortlist was compiled by a panel of expert judges, including school leaders and experts. The schools and teachers they chose showcase the best of education across the sector within 21 award categories, covering all areas of school education.
All our shortlisted staff have found innovative ways to teach their subjects, get children excited about studying their subject and colleagues excited about teaching it – and delivered excellent results.
Their work has created a buzz around their subjects within the school community; Roger Hitchin has pioneered innovative Maths teaching within Wellington Prep School, and Claire Davies and her phenomenal department have inspired and motivated hundreds of children across the school and the local community.
Lindsey Stanton has given the very best support in the classroom and out, fostering pupils’ independence and collaborative working, and supporting pupils’ social and emotional development.
Jon Severs, Editor of Tes Magazine said, “Congratulations to all the shortlisted entries – the standard was so high this year despite the challenges schools face. It is critical we celebrate excellence and share it widely so we can ensure that the fantastic work happening in education is properly recognised.”
Winners will be announced on 21st June at a glittering gala awards night at the Grosvenor Hotel, Park Lane, in London.
