Hexham teacher in running for top award
Two Northumberland teachers have been selected as finalists in the North East heats of the 2009 Teaching Awards.
Fiona Conley, a teacher at St Joseph's RC Middle School in Hexham, is one of four nominees for the Special Needs Teacher of the Year Award.
And Dianne Greenwood, headteacher at Abbeyfields First School in Morpeth, has been nominated in the Lifetime Achievement category.
The regional finals of the awards will be held at The Sage Gateshead on June 17. Author and former education adviser Professor Gervase Phinn will lead a workshop for finalists before the ceremony.
Congratulating the shortlisted finalists, Teaching Awards chief executive Caroline Evans said: "The Teaching Awards ceremony is an opportunity to witness the skill, devotion, passion and professionalism that teachers bring to their work.
"The influence of these outstanding individuals on the lives of children and their families cannot be underestimated. Society needs to recognise their impact and thank them wholeheartedly for the important contribution that they make."
