The most outstanding individuals and institutions that the education sector has to offer have been recognised in the shortlist for the TES Schools Awards 2021.
We are delighted to announce Handforth Grange Primary School, part of the Frank Field Education Trust (FFET), has been shortlisted for the prestigious 2021 TES Primary School of the Year Award.
Staff and students at Handforth Grange Primary School have been celebrating the announcement, being just one of eight schools from across the UK selected for their outstanding work over the last year.
The award recognises Handforth Grange for its high expectations; the incredible opportunities that the children enjoy; the school’s response to the pandemic and the school’s commitment to Inclusion.
After a very successful online awards ceremony last year, TES are once again holding this year’s awards ceremony virtually. Winners will be announced on Friday 25 June 2021.
Mark Unwin, Head Teacher of Handforth Grange Primary School said: “We are absolutely thrilled to receive this recognition and to be shortlisted for the highly prestigious TES Award. This accolade is testament to the incredible work of our wonderful team of teachers, teaching assistants and staff; the expertise and professionalism of my Senior Leadership Team and the support of our Governors and of Tom Quinn and everyone at the Frank Field Education Trust. It is recognition of our supportive parents – who have endured such a difficult year - whose testimonials formed part of the nomination and most of all it celebrates our wonderful children – who make us so proud every day.”
TES editor Jon Severs said: “It is more important this year than ever before to celebrate the fantastic work schools do, because in the past 12 months they have gone above and beyond to ensure pupils were able to be educated and be kept safe in extraordinary circumstances. We were inundated with entries that demonstrated just how hard the pandemic made the work of schools, and just how amazing the response from staff has been. We are looking forward to showcasing, as we do every year, just how vital our education professionals are to every facet of this country. "
