The Top Schools Award for UAE Early Childhood Teacher of the Year. Top Schools Awards 2023 Nomination and Entry Forms.
Below is the official entry form for the Top Schools Award for Early Childhood Teacher of the Year, the first of our Awards for the UAE’s most outstanding teachers. This Award is being run in conjunction with our sister publication, WhichSchoolAdvisor, in recognition of its long-standing expertise in this vital area of education.
Outstanding teachers ensure that every child has a happy education that meets their needs, ambitions and potential in full – and helps them discover their individual gifts. Early Years teachers give our youngest children the foundations for a life of achievement, impact and meaning. Teachers are beyond important and these Awards for Teachers are arguably the most important of any in the Top Schools Awards. We need to celebrate our teachers much more for all they do each day for our children.
For this Award, we are looking for the most extraordinary Early Years teachers – those for whom teaching is a vocation and whose impact goes above and beyond in creating opportunities for children. We want to celebrate teachers that make the most profound contribution to the lives of our youngest children, preparing them for their journey in education and life before them – and setting each day ablaze with inspiration, a celebration of inquisitiveness, happiness – and the confidence to learn, care for others and be themselves.

The Top Schools Awards 2023-24
This year, the Top Schools Awards are celebrating outstanding achievement in our schools with a particular focus on how schools inspire children by linking all subject areas to bring the extraordinary wonders of the Arts, creativity, imagination – and freedom to experiment and innovate, into all areas of the curriculum including, Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.[/caption]

We believe, passionately, that the Arts are absolutely fundamental to delivering an outstanding education for every child, one focused on the whole child and the gifts all children have to change the world for the better and make the difference – every day, and in the future. They bring STEM to life.
Rocket Girl – the Arts and Sciences, together, brought to life
In November 2023, members of the TSA Space and Rocket programme completed first phase testing of the ImaginationTM powered Jet Pack specially manufactured for this year’s Awards. We are particularly grateful for the assistance of the extraordinary and accredited Rocket Pilot and Space Girl Nina from GEMS Wellington Academy Al Khail (pictured) for her considerable, and quite, totally, awesome, bravery and kindness in completing Year 6 rocket pack inaugural flight testing.
Without her, and those many other children we visited across the UAE, none of this would have been possible. They made us… believe.
