NOMINATIONS have been coming in by the dozens for the Salisbury Journal Education Awards, which will be hosted in the city in July.
There are stories of many who have gone beyond the call of duty in supporting young people of all ages in the field of education in the region.
From excellence in leadership in our schools and colleges to the very best in teaching and from the wizardry of science and technology instruction to the importance of business in schools there’s a whole host of awards on offer.
One mum has told us how her son has been helped coping with his dyslexia and a maths teacher gets particular praise from one of his pupils.
Bill Browne, Editor-in-Chief of the Salisbury Journal, said: “We have a really special guest lined up for the Awards night on July 7th and we want to make sure that all those who deserve recognition are there. So if you have not yet told us about someone special in education that you know please do so now.”
