PENARTH, Wales, June 28,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Penarth's Westbourne School has been
recognised from thousands of nominees to win not one, but three
Pearson National Teaching Awards. The hugely prestigious awards are
run by The Teaching Awards Trust to celebrate the finest, most
innovative educators across the UK.
The trailblazing school has won a coveted Silver Award for
Early Years Team of the Year 2024, in addition to bronze
for:
Digital Innovator of the Year 2024 for Mr Stuart Ayres, Digital Director
Headteacher of the Year 2024 for Miss Joanne Chinnock.
These wins highlight the remarkable impact the exceptional
teaching and leadership at Westbourne has on students aged 2-18,
nurturing them to achieve their academic and personal best,
ultimately progressing to the world's most outstanding universities
including Oxbridge and the Ivy League. The multi award-winning
school has been named "one of the most consistently high-achieving
independent schools in Britain"
(Sunday Times), and was IB School of
the Year.
Westbourne's Early Years Team, covering Little Westbourne
Nursery to Y2, is now in line for the
distinguished Gold Award. Rated Excellent by CIW, Little
Westbourne Nursery benefits from an outstanding team, offering a
4:1 toddler-to-staff ratio and a bespoke development plan for every
child.
Michael Morpurgo, President of
the Teaching Awards Trust, said: "The work and devotion of
all of those who play a role in educating young people is
phenomenal. Not only do they play a vital role in shaping minds
inside the classroom, often they continue to encourage, support,
motivate and inspire beyond."
Head of Westbourne School and Winner of Headteacher of the
Year Bronze, Miss Joanne
Chinnock, said:
"To be recognised in three categories in the most esteemed
education awards in the UK is fantastic.
"Our students are happy, healthy, vivacious young learners
with a palpable curiosity about the world. Our nurturing team
guides and inspires them at every step.
"Alongside this, Westbourne's reputation for cutting-edge
learning continues to flourish. Our technology-forward approach
benefits our UK students directly, enabling link-ups with our
global schools and preparing them for a future in which digital
proficiency is paramount."
An innovative use of AI-assisted learning and virtual reality
has transformed the learning experience for Westbourne students.
The school's pioneering global classroom model links students and
teachers globally, in real time, allowing them to share ideas and
work together as if in the same room.
