The ninth annual Essex Teaching Awards took place on Wednesday 15 June 2022 and provided a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the outstanding educators and support staff working in primary, secondary, special and early years settings across Essex.
Essex County Council Cabinet Member for Education Excellence, Lifelong Learning and Employability, Cllr Tony Ball said: “I’m sure we can all remember a teacher, member of school staff, or an early year’s staff member who made a difference to our lives in some way.
