Nuneaton teachers honoured with prestigious teaching award

The Beauty Therapy and Makeup Artistry Team at NWSLC has been honoured as one of 102 Pearson National Teaching Silver Award winners.

They were awarded a Silver Award in the FE Team of the Year category for their outstanding commitment to changing the lives of the students they work with every day. 

The Beauty Therapy and Makeup Artistry Team has now been shortlisted to win one of just 15 Gold Awards later in the year, as part of a programme due to be broadcast on BBC TV that is designed to celebrate the exceptional school and college staff who have overcome a challenging time for educators across the country. 

The Silver Award winners are being honoured as part of the wider celebrations for ‘Thank a Teacher Day’, a national campaign to honour and recognise school and college staff for their incredible work. The celebrations follow new data which shows how the previous year’s lockdowns have significantly changed how families across the country view the role of teachers.

Sharon Hague, Senior Vice President of Schools at Pearson UK, said, “After a year like no other we want to take today to say thank you to all the incredible school staff who have kept children and young people learning despite unprecedented challenges. We hope the celebrations today show how much you are appreciated, and that your hard work has not gone unnoticed nor unrecognised.”
