Secondary School Teacher of the Year 2023 – 2024 – The Finalists
The following are our Finalists for the 2023 – 2024 Top Schools Award for our most Outstanding Secondary School Teacher of the Year.
Every single possible sinew of resilience, academic knowledge, teaching pedagogy, emotional intelligence, compassion and patience are extracted from these extraordinary individuals and teachers that manage these most complex of years as children grow as human beings through their adolescent years to young adulthood. It is probably fair to say that there are few simple moments in this journey. The challenge is enormous.
These are the years where the drive to leave no child behind can be most exhausting and difficult. These are the years when the responsibility of administration, statistics and monitoring progress add to the core task of teaching to place demands on teachers on a scale that is new, and immense. These are years of tireless CPD and engagement in any number of whole child activities. These are years in which the speed of technological innovation means that the status of accepted wisdom in learning, and the communication of that wisdom, is ever changing and faster than light. These are years in which there are never enough hours in a day.
We should never take for granted the many joys and achievements that come with teaching Secondary children. But we must equally always recognise that were teaching not a vocation, there are few individuals outside teaching who would survive very long in this profession. It is a career for the most special people in this world who simply cannot be recognised and thanked enough for all they do for each and every child – however challenging they may be.
Achievement here is exceptional and extraordinary.
