The most outstanding individuals and institutions that the education sector has to offer have been recognised in the shortlist for the Tes Schools Awards 2020.
It’s been revealed that Edd Moore from Damers First School has been shortlisted for the Environment Champion of the Year award.
Tes editor Ann Mroz said: “It is always a highlight of the education calendar to see the best ideas and people lauded at the Tes Schools Awards. But this year, it felt more important than ever to run an event that showcased and celebrated the hard work that teachers and school staff do for children and their local community every single day. This has been one of the most difficult years in education, but – as ever – teachers continue to rise to the challenge.
“We had a record number of entries this year and the standard was very high, so all those shortlisted should be very proud: it’s an extraordinary achievement to be on this shortlist.”
Sadly they cannot hold the awards night in person this year as planned. For the very first time, award winners will be announced at a virtual ceremony on Friday 13 November 2020.
Damers First School were also recently announced in the Sunday Mirror as 3rd place winners in the National Cultivation Street School Garden Competition for their Nature Area with Pond. They have won £500 and a Miracle-Gro Hamper.
