Do you know an inspirational teacher, student, governor or member of school support staff?

 

Nominations are now open for the sixth annual Outstanding for All awards. The awards celebrate the fantastic achievements of the teachers, students, staff and governors whose phenomenal efforts have helped make education in Haringey top class.

 

With the summer holidays fast approaching, we would love it if you could think of someone who has made a difference over the past school year (or longer) – whether that is an extra special achievement, overcoming adversity, or going that extra mile.

 

There are a range of categories, from Teacher of the Year and community hero, to Early Years Champion and Achievement in STEM.

 

You can see the full  list of categories here and watch a video of last year’s nominees.

 

We will invite everyone who is nominated to a celebratory awards ceremony later this year, which will focus on a myriad of fantastic things happening in our schools. Watch this space for news about the venue – we are working on something extra special this year!  

 

We will be publicising this event at the start of the autumn term and there will be further opportunities to nominate, but this gives you an opportunity for an early nomination over the summer.

The 12 categories up for grabs:

• Support Staff of the Year Award
• Achievement in Arts Award

• Governor of the Year Award
• Teacher of the Year Award

Thanks to everyone who took the time to make a nomination for this year’s Outstanding for All Awards which closed on Friday 14 October. We've received over a hundred nominations this year, highlighting, as always, the many examples of fantastic teachers, students, staff, governors, and schools across Haringey.

The judging process is now in full swing but we'll keep you updated via Twitter (external link), our Outstanding for All Awards website (external link), and of course via the Schools Bulletin. 

In the mean time, don't forget the awards ceremony will be on Monday 5 December. Invitations will be sent out soon but, if you haven't already, make sure you save the date in your diary!

We are delighted that the Music Teacher of the Year award will now be included in the annual Outstanding for All Awards ceremony held at Alexandra Palace.

The prestigious Haringey Music Teacher of the Year award was initially awarded to Tyrone Lowe, Gladesmore School, for 2014 and then to Chris Storey, legendary steel pan tutor, for 2015.

Pictured to the right is Peter Desmond, Head of Music and Performing Arts, presenting the award to Chris Storey in December 2015.

If you know an outstanding music teacher who deserves this award, make sure to nominate them by 14 October.
