Last chance to submit nominations for Scottish Education Awards 2013

4th February 2013

People in the Highlands are being urged to enter local schools, nurseries or individuals into the Scottish Education Awards 2013 before the deadline for submissions on Friday 22 February 2013.

The awards, which celebrate the achievements of schools and teachers across Scotland, have attracted hundreds of nominations so far but many more schools and individuals are worthy of acknowledgment.

Last year, Portee High School in Skye won the Gaelic Language Award at the Scottish Education Awards.

Councillor Alasdair Christie, Chair of The Highland Council’s Adult and Children’s Services Committee, said: “The dedication and hard work of our staff, children and young people deserve to be recognised. The Scottish Education Awards give us the opportunity to celebrate the areas brightest education stars. I would encourage everyone to nominate local schools and individuals they feel have worked exceptionally hard to achieve their goals and deliver an outstanding educational experience for pupils.”

The Scottish Education Awards are open to all publicly funded schools, including secondary, primary, nursery and special schools. There are also categories to recognise and reward the dedication of teachers, head-teachers and support staff across the country.

Nominations are currently being invited from across all 17 categories including Teacher of the Year, Global Citizenship, Literacy and Numeracy across Learning and Sustainable Schools.
