2010 Teaching Awards

I am delighted to announce that our Year 6 teacher, and Deputy Head, Mrs Susan Martin has been chosen as the overall winner from amongst stiff competition for ‘The Royal Air Force Award for Teacher of the Year in a Primary School in South West’. She was picked from amongst thousands of nominations for teaching awards nationally. Sue Martin attended a very prestigious awards ceremony yesterday, on Tuesday 15th June in the Assembly Rooms in Bath when she was announced as the winner for the region. She has been invited to London for the National Teaching Awards final in October when a national winner will be chosen from amongst the winners of the seven regions nationally.

The presentation was made by Squadron Leader Andy Walker of the Royal Air Force.

It was absolutely thrilling to share this special day with Sue Martin and we are elated that she has been given this accolade. Sue is an outstanding teacher who continues to inspire children with her passion for teaching; especially in Science. We are delighted to celebrate with Sue Martin; this is a fantastic achievement and we are so pleased that the judges have recognised what we know to be true; Sue Martin is a brilliant teacher and the Talbot House School community is enormously proud of her!
