Submit a nomination for the Kent Teacher of the Year Awards

Nominations open on January 1 for Kent Teacher of the Year Awards and will be accepted until March 1.

As you know, at Westmeads Community Infant School our staff and volunteers work hard for each and every pupil.

It would be wonderful if parents and friends of the school would consider nominating staff and volunteers who make a stand-out contribution in your eyes. This is a huge encouragement to all nominees, and a big public pat-on-the-back for winners and their schools.

Award categories include primary, secondary, newly qualified teacher, non-teaching member of staff including dinner ladies and caretakers, and a volunteer award including members of the PTA, governors and other voluntary roles including, for example, reading supporters and those who support extra-curricular activities.

A panel of independent judges will decide the winners in each category for our district, and the winners will be announced in May.
