🟠Cambridge Dedicated Teacher Awards ðŸŸ
The Dedicated Teacher Awards are a global competition run by Cambridge University, where students can nominate a teacher and give them a big thank you. For example, your child might like to nominate their teacher for making a lesson come to life with videos or props, or for something as simple as being there when they needed to talk.
All of the teachers at our school love their work and are very proud of the students they teach, this year we have randomly selected Mr Woolgar and Mr Maree for our school nominations.. If your child would like to show their appreciation for Mr Maree or Mr Woolgar, they are able to find out more and nominate their teacher for the awards by visiting dedicatedteacher.cambridge.org/
Although we would be delighted to receive any nominations for Mr Woolgar or Mr Maree, please do not feel that this is compulsory or in any way expected of you or your child.
