Lifetime Achievement Award nomination for Sherborne School teacher

Posted: 14th September 2023

Rebecca de Pelet spent twelve years as Head of English at Sherborne School after stepping down but continuing to teach English within the department.

An inspirational teacher, a passionate believer in pupilsโ€™ potential, Rebecca has helped generations of boys to find enjoyment and success in a subject that rewards articulacy and emotional intelligence. Where boys were resistant, Rebecca would rapidly win them round and with a readiness to cajole, and it is easy to see why boys flourished.

Upon leaving Sherborne School, colleagues, friends and former pupils contributed to a Festschrift โ€“ a celebratory collection of writing โ€“ in her honour, because Rebecca was someone who gave writers the confidence to express themselves. Indeed, many of her students have become published writers.

Headmaster and CEO, Dr Luckett said โ€˜We are delighted for Rebecca to be recognised for the notable impact that she has made as a teacher. We can probably all remember teachers from our school days and it is a testament to Rebeccaโ€™s teaching that she has been recognised by this award nomination.โ€™
