Shropshire teaching assistant who took on GCSE with students named in prestigious awards
Two Shropshire schools and a teaching assistant from Oswestry have been recognised in the shortlist for the prestigious national Tes Awards.
The shortlist for the Tes School Awards 2024 have been announced, naming some of the best schools and teachers across the country.
Dubbed the ‘Oscars of Education’, the prestigious awards programme celebrates the best of education from both private and state schools across the UK.
The shortlist was compiled by a panel of expert judges, including school leaders. The schools and teachers they chose showcase the best of education across the sector within 21 award categories, covering all areas of school education.
One of Oswestry School's learning support assistants, Rob Howell, has been shortlisted for the award's Teaching Assistant of the Year category.
Oswestry School said that Rob has always gone above and beyond to support pupils and in 2022 he even studied for, sat and passed a GCSE in Chemistry with them, so he could understand the potential pressures his pupils were going through.
