Nominations are open for the third annual Haringey Outstanding for All awards, which celebrate exceptional education and achievement.
Awards are up for grabs in ten categories, recognising the outstanding contributions made by teachers, students, support staff, governors and community groups across Haringey.
Cllr Ann Waters, Cabinet Member for Children and Families said:
“In just two years, the Outstanding for All awards has become a favourite fixture on Haringey’s events calendar. It’s an evening when we get to congratulate and celebrate the very best examples of teaching and learning in this borough, and I’ve no doubt we’ll see dozens of superb nominations this year. If you know someone – whether they’re a teacher, classmate, colleague or community member – who you think deserves recognition, nominate them now.
“Haringey’s schools are going from strength-to-strength, with all of our secondary and special schools, and almost 90 percent of our primaries, rated ‘good’ or ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted. This year’s awards will give us further cause to celebrate Haringey’s well-deserved growing reputation as a home to is excellence in education.”
