The Kent Teacher of the Year Awards – designed to showcase those going above the line of duty to provide children with the best quality education – were staged at Maidstone’s historic Leeds Castle on Thursday, May 19 in which fifty one finalists from across Kent, Medway and Bexley were commended for their service. I am thrilled and so proud to report that Mrs Adams was awarded overall winner for Kent in the literacy teacher of the year. She was nominated by her colleagues for her work in leading Talk4Writing which has had such a positive impact on outcomes for the children across the school.
