The most outstanding individuals and institutions that the education sector has to offer have been recognised in the shortlist for the Tes Schools Awards 2022. It’s been revealed that The High School Truro has been shortlisted for the Subject Leader of the Year (Secondary) award for Head of STEM, Jon Dean.
Jon’s determination to provide students at the school with access to everything from specialist medical training programmes to engineering courses and astronomy impressed the judges.
Headmistress Sarah Matthews said: “I am absolutely delighted that Jon’s passion and dedication to providing opportunities for girls in science has been recognised in this way. From bringing Lewis Hamilton’s Petronus car to school to inspire our motorsports teams to linking up with the European Space Agency to teach space science to young people from schools across the county, his commitment is inspirational.”
For the first time, the 2022 Tes Schools Awards has brought together the best teachers and schools from all UK state and independent early years settings, including both primary schools and secondary schools.
The panel of expert awards judges include school leaders, inspectors and education researchers. The objectivity, professionalism and high standards of the Tes Schools Awards judges and the judging process has helped establish them as a well-respected achievement for any school chosen as a finalist or winner.
Tes editor and chief judge of the Tes Schools Awards Jon Severs said: “This year has seen an incredibly high standard of entries to the Tes Schools Awards. Every teacher and school who has been nominated should be incredibly proud – it’s a fantastic achievement. We are looking forward to showcasing, as we do every year, just how vital our education professionals are to every facet of this country. Teachers, leaders and support staff have all played an enormous role as schools have battled with immense challenges over the last few years: this is our chance to say thank you for all that they do.
“After two years of virtual awards ceremonies, we are looking forward to celebrating our education heroes in person once again.”
