The Outstanding for All Awards 2019 took place on Monday 2 December at Tottenham Hotspur FC’s impressive new stadium.
Inspirational students, talented teachers and awesome support staff packed into the Spurs’ hospitality rooms for the celebratory evening.
Now in their seventh year, these Haringey Council awards celebrate educational excellence and acknowledge notable achievements in categories such as apprenticeships, the arts, community heroism, early years education and governance.
The awards were hosted by writer, actor and broadcaster Tom Watt, who was joined on stage by students Esmee Charlesworth and Devante Seepaul-Craig.
The award presenters included a very special sporting guest, Spurs legend Ledley King who presented the Achievement in Sport Award.
Entertainment for the evening was provided by talented singers, dancers and musicians from Haringey schools, organised by Peter Desmond, head of Haringey Music Service.
Ann Graham, Director of Children’s Services commented:

“The standard of entries this year was exceptionally high. They were easily among the best we’ve ever received, and it was difficult to narrow them down to a shortlist of finalists. I’d like to congratulate everybody involved on just what they’ve managed to achieve in this calendar year and look forward to similar success stories in 2020.”

From inspirational teachers to pupils who have persevered against the odds, and from star footballers to a stratospheric teddy bear, the Outstanding for All Awards put educational achievement in Haringey centre stage.

The awards evening at Alexandra Palace on 27 November showcased the teachers, staff, governors and pupils whose exceptional efforts have helped make education in Haringey best in class.

Jacqueline said:

“What an honour to be here and to see Alexandra Palace packed with so many people celebrating together, sharing their pride and saying ‘well done’ and ‘thank you’ for your achievements.”

Awards were given out in 12 categories, which drew more than 100 nominations from local parents, children, school staff and teachers keen to celebrate achievements in schools and children’s centres across the borough.

Awards presenters included Haringey Council Leader Claire Kober; the Mayor of Haringey Cllr Stephen Mann; Haringey Borough Police Commander Chief Superintendent Helen Millichap, and Tottenham Hotspur legend Ledley King – who delighted the audience by handing out the Achievement in Sport Award and confirming that nominees in all categories would be treated to a Spurs home game, quipping: “You’re all winners, because you’ve all won Spurs tickets.”

Guests were also treated to spectacular performances from some of the borough’s most talented young stars, including the Gidde Bille African Drumming group from Everyone’s Climbing Tree; Haringey Vox Junior Choir; St Thomas More School Dancers; Alexandra Park School Jazz Band, and singers Tyriek and Melisa.

Cllr Elin Weston, Haringey Council’s Cabinet Member for Children and Young People, who presented the Overcoming Adversity award, said:

“What an absolutely fantastic evening. It made me immensely proud to be at Ally Pally with so many exceptional pupils, teachers, staff and governors and to hear just some of their incredible success stories.

“The awards gave us the chance to say thank you to the teachers who have changed young people’s lives for the better; to the support staff who ensure our children have the best opportunities in life; to the governors who support our schools, and to the children themselves – whose determination is an inspiration to us all.
