Nominations are now open for the Sussex Teacher of the Year Awards 2021
This has been a difficult year, to say the least, but out of this situation, we have seen heroes come to the fore, the staff of the NHS and care workers have quite rightly received the accolades and publicity they deserve for their amazing efforts but many other heroes have gone unnoticed.
Staff in the education sector have worked tirelessly to ensure our children have been taught, fed, inspired and motivated, are among those heroes and deserve the recognition for everything they have done.
We at KCS support the KM Charity Team in delivering the Sussex Teacher of the Year Awards and we would love your help in spreading the word to everyone in your school and community to nominate a member of your school staff.
This is not a popularity contest, it’s not measured on the number of votes, it’s judged by a panel of judges who read the content of every entry and then have the difficult task of selecting the winners.
Anyone can nominate and it’s not just teachers who are recognised – these awards celebrate every role in schools from school secretaries to caretakers, heads and volunteers. Not everyone can win but all nominees receive notification of their nomination and that in itself goes a long way to them knowing how appreciated they are.
Winners from every district will be honoured at the awards ceremony with the overall countywide champions announced on the night. Also, a pre-recorded version of the event will be aired simultaneously for everyone to celebrate.
To nominate is simple:
- Go to kmcharityteam.co.uk/ltotyand complete the online nomination form.
- Either print and display or forward the attached poster to your colleagues and networks.
- Share the link through your social media channels and tag KM Charity Team using the handle @InspireSchools1 and use the hashtags #SussexTeacherOfTheYear and #STOTY
- Include an update in your communications/newsletters
With your help we can make this year’s Teacher of the Year Awards bigger and better than ever before and make sure that the unsung heroes of the past year receive the recognition they truly deserve.
