Hays Education, the leading recruiting expert, has awarded both Suzanne Adamson and Jeniffer Hird from The Heath School, Runcorn, with Cheshire's 'Teacher of the Term' award.

Geography teacher, Suzanne, described as an invaluable asset to the humanities team, was commended by Head of Department, Grace Pulman. Grace said Suzanne's involvement in the planning and delivery of the new GCSE syllabus had a "hugely positive impact on attitudes and outcomes of the GCSE pupils."

Newly Qualified Teacher from the Design Technology faculty, Jeniffer, was not only commended by Gillian Spencer, Head of Technology, on becoming an integral part of the department but also "embracing her role as a Form Tutor" and "having an unbelievable zest for life and her job!"

The Heath School was proud to name their two employees as winners and thankful to Jeniffer and Suzanne for their time and commitment to the role and their students. Suzanne said, "The Heath is a great place to work. It makes the demands of teaching so much easier to deal with and really facilitates the teaching of good lessons."

Graeme Lovelady, Senior Manager at Hays Education presented the award and comments, "We are pleased to recognise the important and excellent role that our supply teachers fulfil in this school and the region. The teaching profession offers independence, flexibility, variety and the opportunity to learn something new and meet new people. We extend our congratulations to both Suzanne and Jeniffer on their awards."
