BELL RINGS | 0:00:02 | 0:00:04 | |
She's devoted her entire life | 0:00:04 | 0:00:06 | |
to improving the life chances of the young people in her care. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:09 | |
He's my tutor but he's also probably the best friend I ever had. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:15 | |
He pushes the limits on everything he does. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:17 | |
She's the best teacher in the world | 0:00:19 | 0:00:20 | |
and there's no other teacher that can replace her. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:23 | |
I think he's just a great man. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:26 | |
I really owe him a lot for what he's done. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
She's a teacher which I think all of us would like to teach our children. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
-COMPUTERISED VOICE: -Thank you for teaching me how to write | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
and for making our lessons informative and such good fun. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:41 | |
-ANNOUNCER: -From Guildhall in the City of London, | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
Thank you and welcome to Britain's Classroom Heroes | 0:01:14 | 0:01:18 | |
in a very salubrious staffroom, Guildhall in the City of London. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:23 | |
I'm Hugh Dennis and tonight we'll discover who's won | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
the coveted 2016 Teaching Awards, supported by Pearson UK. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:31 | |
But, more importantly, we'll find out | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
what makes the nation's best teachers tick. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
We'll be handing out these, the famous gold Plato - | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
see me afterwards if you don't know who Plato is. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
Dishing out the awards, we have a series of former unruly pupils | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
who've since found fame. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:46 | |
And, on tonight's timetable, | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
we have drama with Alison Steadman and Nina Sosanya. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
CHEERING | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
PE with Olympic gold medallist Helen Glover. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
CHEERING | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
English with one of Britain's finest actors, Timothy West. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:11 | |
CHEERING | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
And dance classes with Strictly's Brendan Cole. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:20 | |
CHEERING | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
Now, to quote Plato, wise men talk because they have something to say, | 0:02:28 | 0:02:32 | |
fools because they have to say something. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
So, in the interest of self-respect, | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
have a fabulous evening and let's crack on. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:38 | |
So our first award this evening | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
is for Headteacher Of The Year in a Secondary School, | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
a tough role by any standards. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:55 | |
To present this, the W1A and Last Tango In Halifax actress | 0:02:55 | 0:03:00 | |
who had her big TV break in the series Teachers. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
Never one to shy away from a challenging role herself, | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
she's just finished appearing in a trilogy of Chekhov | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
at the National Theatre. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:10 | |
Would you please welcome Nina Sosanya? | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
So, Nina, what have you learned about teachers | 0:03:21 | 0:03:23 | |
by playing them on screen, do you think? | 0:03:23 | 0:03:25 | |
I think I've learned that being an actress is a lot easier | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
than being a teacher. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
When we did Teachers, of course, | 0:03:30 | 0:03:32 | |
all of our pupils had scripts to follow, | 0:03:32 | 0:03:34 | |
so our job was way easier. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:37 | |
And how important were your own teachers | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
in setting you on your own particular career path? | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
My teachers at school, | 0:03:42 | 0:03:44 | |
it was the ones that did the extracurricular things for me, | 0:03:44 | 0:03:47 | |
so drama club, clearly, | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
and also Mr Dawkins particularly, who was our music teacher, | 0:03:50 | 0:03:54 | |
who took school band, | 0:03:54 | 0:03:56 | |
which was sort of full of... At the time, we felt unpopulars, | 0:03:56 | 0:04:00 | |
but, actually, I think we were probably | 0:04:00 | 0:04:01 | |
the coolest kids in the school. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:03 | |
It was all about working as a team, working towards performance, | 0:04:03 | 0:04:07 | |
and I think that really sort of set me on that path. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
Mr Dawkins is such a teacher-y name. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:12 | |
Isn't it? Mr D. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:13 | |
I'm almost certain it's made up. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:15 | |
Anyway... LAUGHTER | 0:04:15 | 0:04:17 | |
So, Nina, can you tell us who has won please? | 0:04:17 | 0:04:21 | |
I am honoured to present the award | 0:04:24 | 0:04:25 | |
for Headteacher Of The Year in a Secondary School | 0:04:25 | 0:04:29 | |
and the winner, from the Radclyffe School in Oldham, | 0:04:29 | 0:04:32 | |
is Hardial Hayer. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:34 | |
CHEERING | 0:04:34 | 0:04:36 | |
'This is Five Live. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:48 | |
'Our reporter Judy Hobson has been to the school. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:50 | |
'Hi, Judy.' | 0:04:50 | 0:04:51 | |
'Yes, the Radclyffe School has been nominated for a national award | 0:04:51 | 0:04:54 | |
'for this new approach.' | 0:04:54 | 0:04:56 | |
Hi, good morning, everybody. Welcome to Friday feeling. | 0:04:56 | 0:05:00 | |
You are an outstanding team. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:02 | |
We've had a fantastic year | 0:05:02 | 0:05:04 | |
and three years running you have delivered the best ever results | 0:05:04 | 0:05:08 | |
in the history of our school. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:09 | |
Let's have a lovely day. Go out there and weave your magic. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:13 | |
Good morning, girls. You all right? How are you doing? | 0:05:19 | 0:05:22 | |
Lovely. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:25 | |
When I initially was choosing a school for my daughter, | 0:05:25 | 0:05:27 | |
I was devastated at the fact she had to come to this school. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:31 | |
Over the years I've seen him transform this school | 0:05:32 | 0:05:35 | |
into the current outstanding school that it is now. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:39 | |
We'll be walking down in the morning | 0:05:39 | 0:05:41 | |
and he'll say "hi" every morning to you. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:43 | |
He's always, like, proper motivating. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:45 | |
-BELL RINGS -That's the bell, | 0:05:45 | 0:05:47 | |
so go and enjoy. Have a lovely day, all right? | 0:05:47 | 0:05:49 | |
All right, let's go in, lads, now. Time for learning. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:51 | |
I remember when I first came here | 0:05:59 | 0:06:02 | |
and the local newspaper came to interview me, | 0:06:02 | 0:06:05 | |
because I was quite a young person then. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:07 | |
You wouldn't notice it from my grey hairs now. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:09 | |
And it says, "The young head to inspire." | 0:06:09 | 0:06:12 | |
That's what I wanted to do, raise their expectations. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:15 | |
-Morning, lads. -Hi, sir. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:17 | |
Welcome. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:18 | |
When I was in school, it wasn't like this big fancy building you see, | 0:06:18 | 0:06:22 | |
it was a lot older, the buildings were run down. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:25 | |
Some of the... | 0:06:25 | 0:06:26 | |
We had Portakabins instead of classrooms. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:27 | |
It's a massive difference. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:29 | |
I feel like I've watched it grow and evolve | 0:06:29 | 0:06:31 | |
from not such an amazing school | 0:06:31 | 0:06:33 | |
to one of the best in this whole area. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:35 | |
Just changing that culture of kids wanting to do well, | 0:06:35 | 0:06:38 | |
raising the aspirations. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:40 | |
It's like being, like, turning around the tanker | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
to establish that love of learning. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:47 | |
You only have to look at our students | 0:06:47 | 0:06:48 | |
to see the journey we've made, | 0:06:48 | 0:06:50 | |
and look at where they're going - | 0:06:50 | 0:06:52 | |
that we are getting students | 0:06:52 | 0:06:53 | |
that are going to Oxbridge. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:55 | |
That is fantastic. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:56 | |
These are our five respects. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:04 | |
The students had an input into these five respects. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:07 | |
They are part of our DNA now | 0:07:07 | 0:07:09 | |
and that has helped transform the learning culture in here, | 0:07:09 | 0:07:14 | |
so we've got this attitude that you can be whatever you want to be | 0:07:14 | 0:07:18 | |
and the sky's the limit here. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:20 | |
And the Book Of Excellence, which is down, | 0:07:21 | 0:07:23 | |
right in the centre of our atrium, | 0:07:23 | 0:07:25 | |
is part of those aspirations. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:27 | |
The Book Of Excellence is to recognise the achievements | 0:07:29 | 0:07:31 | |
of our students. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:32 | |
Every week we get staff to nominate whoever they want. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:36 | |
Then, on Wednesday, those students come here for lunch. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:40 | |
Welcome, have a seat. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:41 | |
Welcome, everybody. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:43 | |
'We talk to them about their careers,' | 0:07:43 | 0:07:45 | |
their aspirations, their ambitions, | 0:07:45 | 0:07:47 | |
and really give them a big round of applause. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:50 | |
Basically, I'm your waiter for lunch. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |
That's what I do at lunchtime! | 0:07:53 | 0:07:56 | |
-I'm going to bring these around. -He's really easy to talk to. | 0:07:56 | 0:07:59 | |
It's not like he's just another headteacher | 0:07:59 | 0:08:02 | |
that sits in his office all day. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:03 | |
Do start. You've all got a drink. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:05 | |
I've got my fruit salad. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:07 | |
You always feel like it's a privilege | 0:08:07 | 0:08:09 | |
because you actually get to talk to him, | 0:08:09 | 0:08:10 | |
to, like, the big boss. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:12 | |
A lot of our children, not all of them, | 0:08:14 | 0:08:15 | |
come to us starting from behind the line. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:18 | |
And our job, as professionals, is to try and ensure, | 0:08:18 | 0:08:21 | |
after five years they are with us, | 0:08:21 | 0:08:23 | |
they end up well beyond the line. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:25 | |
If education can make that difference to their lives, | 0:08:25 | 0:08:27 | |
for me, there's no better job. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:29 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:08:31 | 0:08:32 | |
Ladies and gentlemen, | 0:08:35 | 0:08:36 | |
our Head Teacher of the Year in a Secondary School, | 0:08:36 | 0:08:39 | |
Hardial Hayer! | 0:08:39 | 0:08:40 | |
Well done. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:48 | |
Well done. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:51 | |
So, Hardial, you reward the star pupils by having lunch with them. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:58 | |
Please tell me that the other pupils also get lunch! | 0:08:58 | 0:09:02 | |
They do, but not in my office every day. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
And you talked there about your mentoring scheme. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:09 | |
How does that work? | 0:09:09 | 0:09:10 | |
Really, what we've developed is that every member of staff | 0:09:10 | 0:09:14 | |
has a responsibility for looking after our students | 0:09:14 | 0:09:17 | |
and mentoring them, | 0:09:17 | 0:09:18 | |
and what it does is it gives every single member of staff | 0:09:18 | 0:09:21 | |
a stake in the success of our school. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:23 | |
It's about making a big school into a small one, | 0:09:23 | 0:09:26 | |
and creating small families all around our school. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:29 | |
Well, it obviously works and you have this beyond outstanding rating. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:34 | |
How difficult is it to maintain that? | 0:09:34 | 0:09:36 | |
Well, that's our challenge. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:38 | |
We want to go beyond outstanding | 0:09:38 | 0:09:40 | |
by relentless pursuit of personal excellence for every single child. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:44 | |
It's not about what we've done, | 0:09:44 | 0:09:46 | |
it's what we want to do with the children | 0:09:46 | 0:09:48 | |
who are there for the future. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:50 | |
Ladies and gentlemen, | 0:09:50 | 0:09:51 | |
our Headteacher of the Year in a Secondary School, | 0:09:51 | 0:09:54 | |
Hardial Hayer! | 0:09:54 | 0:09:56 | |
And thank you very much to Nina Sosanya. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:59 | |
The next Plato is for Teacher of the Year in a Primary School. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:10 | |
The winner of this award is a whiz at teaching maths. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:13 | |
Where were you when I needed you? | 0:10:13 | 0:10:14 | |
She is usually the first one in and the last one out at her school, | 0:10:14 | 0:10:18 | |
and she channels her boundless energy into numerous activities, | 0:10:18 | 0:10:21 | |
most famously her fun-fuelled dance class. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:25 | |
So who better to surprise her than a Strictly favourite Brendan Cole? | 0:10:25 | 0:10:30 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:10:30 | 0:10:32 | |
Now I know what not to do. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:34 | |
I'm here Uxendon Manor Primary School | 0:10:37 | 0:10:39 | |
to surprise this year's winner | 0:10:39 | 0:10:41 | |
of Teacher of the Year in a Primary School. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:44 | |
She's down in the hall doing one of her many clubs right now. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:50 | |
We are going to pop downstairs and surprise her. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:52 | |
Whilst we do that, take a look at why she's won. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:54 | |
Good morning, everybody. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:01 | |
I'd like to start off with our Uxendon song. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:04 | |
KIDS: Yes! | 0:11:04 | 0:11:05 | |
Can you sing really loudly? | 0:11:05 | 0:11:07 | |
Yes! | 0:11:07 | 0:11:09 | |
Our school is Uxendon Manor Primary School | 0:11:09 | 0:11:11 | |
and we have about 550 children | 0:11:11 | 0:11:13 | |
enrolled at the moment. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:14 | |
Miss Vekaria has been here for six years | 0:11:14 | 0:11:17 | |
and four years ago she became our deputy headteacher. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:19 | |
# Uxendon Manor | 0:11:19 | 0:11:22 | |
# Uxendon Manor here in my heart... # | 0:11:22 | 0:11:26 | |
She's vibrant, she's hard-working, | 0:11:26 | 0:11:28 | |
she really is an inspiration to everyone in the school community. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:31 | |
# Uxendon! # | 0:11:31 | 0:11:34 | |
My school day starts between 7 and 7:30, | 0:11:34 | 0:11:38 | |
and finishes 7, 7:30. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:42 | |
She's often the last person to lock up the school, | 0:11:42 | 0:11:44 | |
even after the caretaker and everybody else is gone. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:47 | |
I do put in extra hours, | 0:11:47 | 0:11:48 | |
but I feel passionate about my job | 0:11:48 | 0:11:51 | |
and I don't like doing things half-heartedly. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:54 | |
I believe that children should enjoy learning, | 0:11:55 | 0:11:57 | |
it's important that they love it, | 0:11:57 | 0:12:00 | |
and the only way you love something is if it's fun and you enjoy it. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:02 | |
She would always do something new | 0:12:02 | 0:12:04 | |
and something that we wouldn't have learned. | 0:12:04 | 0:12:06 | |
Or if we have learned it already, | 0:12:06 | 0:12:07 | |
she would do it in a fun way so we could memorise it easier. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:10 | |
What does that mean? | 0:12:12 | 0:12:13 | |
Most children will take GCSEs at 16 - | 0:12:13 | 0:12:15 | |
some of our children will take them at 11 - | 0:12:15 | 0:12:17 | |
and it's just the commitment of particularly Miss Vekaria | 0:12:17 | 0:12:20 | |
to really push those children as far as they can possibly go. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:23 | |
She is very encouraging and she said, | 0:12:23 | 0:12:25 | |
"If you don't pass, it is OK, but you tried." | 0:12:25 | 0:12:27 | |
For the past three years, | 0:12:27 | 0:12:29 | |
we have entered some of our children for GCSE maths | 0:12:29 | 0:12:32 | |
and they've all passed with 100%. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:34 | |
When children do it one year early, it's a massive achievement, | 0:12:34 | 0:12:37 | |
but five years early is incredible. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:39 | |
I always get a bit worried that she doesn't eat anything for lunch, | 0:12:41 | 0:12:43 | |
but she does zoom around. She's in the lunch hall, | 0:12:43 | 0:12:45 | |
supervising children. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:46 | |
She will be talking to teachers, she'll be doing all sorts of things. | 0:12:46 | 0:12:50 | |
She organises all the after-school activities | 0:12:50 | 0:12:52 | |
and she'll be, throughout the year, running different clubs. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:54 | |
I've just organised a few after-school clubs. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:57 | |
-Choir. -Chess. Gymnastics. | 0:12:57 | 0:12:59 | |
-ICT club. -Drama. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:01 | |
Literacy booster sessions. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:03 | |
We have had her in high heels teaching football | 0:13:03 | 0:13:06 | |
on the muddy pitch. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:07 | |
Recently we've just introduced a robotics coding club as well. | 0:13:07 | 0:13:10 | |
She's like a Pied Piper | 0:13:10 | 0:13:12 | |
because, whatever club she does, | 0:13:12 | 0:13:13 | |
you will see that all the children want to do it | 0:13:13 | 0:13:16 | |
and they follow her. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:18 | |
Sing it! | 0:13:18 | 0:13:19 | |
'I enjoy dancing | 0:13:19 | 0:13:20 | |
'and it's nice to be able to have a lunchtime dance club, | 0:13:20 | 0:13:24 | |
'just to put a bit of music on | 0:13:24 | 0:13:26 | |
'and to have a bit of fun with the children.' | 0:13:26 | 0:13:28 | |
We were changing rooms around because of our expansion | 0:13:32 | 0:13:34 | |
and Jashu had an idea for a new library. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:37 | |
And she said, "Right, Mr Parry, | 0:13:38 | 0:13:39 | |
"we are going to have artificial grass on the floor. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:41 | |
"We are going to make it look like a woodland, like a forest." | 0:13:41 | 0:13:45 | |
I thought, "How do I get that across? | 0:13:45 | 0:13:47 | |
"That you can open a book and be transported." | 0:13:47 | 0:13:49 | |
If we can visually do that for them, | 0:13:49 | 0:13:52 | |
then they will be inspired to visit the library | 0:13:52 | 0:13:55 | |
and get a book to start reading. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:57 | |
She has made such a huge impact in our school | 0:14:00 | 0:14:03 | |
and some of the work that she has done has just been incredible. | 0:14:03 | 0:14:06 | |
She's the best teacher in the world | 0:14:06 | 0:14:08 | |
and there is no other teacher that can replace her. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:10 | |
She's a teacher which I think all of us would like to teach our children. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:15 | |
Mrs Vekaria is just behind this door. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:22 | |
Let's go and say hello. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:23 | |
Hello? | 0:14:29 | 0:14:30 | |
Sorry to interrupt. Is this a dance class? | 0:14:30 | 0:14:33 | |
-KIDS: No! -Is it not? | 0:14:33 | 0:14:35 | |
-No! -I may have come to the wrong place. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:38 | |
Unless...is Mrs Vekaria here? | 0:14:38 | 0:14:41 | |
Where as she? Is that her over there? | 0:14:41 | 0:14:44 | |
Mrs Vekaria? Hello, my name is Brendan Cole. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:46 | |
I know who you are! | 0:14:46 | 0:14:48 | |
Kids, I believe that Mrs Vekaria is a pretty good teacher. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:51 | |
-Is that right? -Yes! | 0:14:51 | 0:14:53 | |
Mrs Vekaria, I am here to tell you | 0:14:53 | 0:14:55 | |
that you are Teacher of the Year in a Primary School. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:58 | |
Silver award. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:00 | |
Gold award! | 0:15:00 | 0:15:01 | |
CHEERING | 0:15:01 | 0:15:03 | |
Of all the people to give it! | 0:15:05 | 0:15:06 | |
One last thing. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:08 | |
JASHU LAUGHS | 0:15:09 | 0:15:11 | |
Everybody! | 0:15:14 | 0:15:16 | |
Come on, get up! | 0:15:16 | 0:15:18 | |
I don't know. I just can't believe this is happening to me. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:32 | |
Do you know? I am such a Strictly fan. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:36 | |
I was dancing with Brendan Cole! | 0:15:36 | 0:15:38 | |
It's absolutely amazing. | 0:15:38 | 0:15:39 | |
CHEERING | 0:15:39 | 0:15:42 | |
Ladies and gentlemen, the winner | 0:15:45 | 0:15:46 | |
of Teacher of the Year in a Primary School, | 0:15:46 | 0:15:48 | |
from Uxendon Manor Primary in Harrow, is Jashu Vekaria. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:53 | |
CHEERING | 0:15:53 | 0:15:56 | |
Our next award this evening | 0:16:03 | 0:16:06 | |
is for Further Education Lecturer or Team of the Year. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:09 | |
Further education is a term | 0:16:09 | 0:16:11 | |
that covers a wide range of subjects and ages, | 0:16:11 | 0:16:13 | |
and it particularly involves vocational training | 0:16:13 | 0:16:15 | |
for people looking to do a proper job, | 0:16:15 | 0:16:18 | |
so not this one, obviously. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:20 | |
To present this award, | 0:16:20 | 0:16:22 | |
an actor who has championed his school motto, | 0:16:22 | 0:16:24 | |
"Perseverance wins", for over 50 years, | 0:16:24 | 0:16:27 | |
and has set up his own foundation to pass on that message | 0:16:27 | 0:16:30 | |
to disadvantaged youngsters. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:32 | |
For most of us, he is best-known | 0:16:32 | 0:16:34 | |
as EastEnders favourite Patrick Trueman, | 0:16:34 | 0:16:36 | |
where he has been an Albert Square resident for 15 years. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:39 | |
Would you please welcome Rudolph Walker? | 0:16:39 | 0:16:42 | |
So, Rudolph, what inspired you to set up your own foundation? | 0:16:51 | 0:16:54 | |
I have been working in schools | 0:16:54 | 0:16:56 | |
since I did a famous television series back in the '70s | 0:16:56 | 0:17:00 | |
called Love Thy Neighbour. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:03 | |
And, about five years ago, five or six years ago, | 0:17:03 | 0:17:05 | |
I was approached to go back to the schools and try and do something. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:10 | |
So I set up the foundation, | 0:17:10 | 0:17:11 | |
and here we are, five years on, going from strength to strength. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:14 | |
And how much do you think that motto, "Perseverance wins" - | 0:17:14 | 0:17:17 | |
is that very important in your life? | 0:17:17 | 0:17:19 | |
It is very important, it is something that I adopted, | 0:17:19 | 0:17:23 | |
that I had in my school, "Perseverance wins", | 0:17:23 | 0:17:25 | |
and it is something that I use every day. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:29 | |
It's something that I try to instil in the youngsters. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:32 | |
In fact, a message to all the teachers, | 0:17:32 | 0:17:35 | |
because I work in schools not in the capacity that you do, | 0:17:35 | 0:17:39 | |
that you all do a fantastic, fantastic, fantastic job. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:45 | |
I can't sing your praise much higher. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:48 | |
Well, you probably can't... APPLAUSE | 0:17:48 | 0:17:50 | |
Anyway, over to you. Who has won? | 0:17:56 | 0:17:58 | |
Right, um... | 0:17:58 | 0:18:00 | |
And the winner, from Pembrokeshire College in Haverfordwest, is... | 0:18:00 | 0:18:07 | |
Mr Michael Butcher. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:09 | |
Keep it straight. Change. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:20 | |
That's better. Well done. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:23 | |
Mike is a tremendous horse person, his abilities are second to none. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:27 | |
He is well-known as a trainer for the Paralympics, | 0:18:27 | 0:18:30 | |
and he's said himself he's come back to teach | 0:18:30 | 0:18:33 | |
because he valued his education so much | 0:18:33 | 0:18:36 | |
he wanted to pass that knowledge on, and that experience on to others. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:39 | |
I work with disabled riders and able-bodied riders. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:57 | |
Horse riding opens up a new world | 0:18:57 | 0:19:00 | |
and that's why I went down the route | 0:19:00 | 0:19:01 | |
of working with riders with disabilities, | 0:19:01 | 0:19:03 | |
just to give them more opportunities in life. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:05 | |
I could have the worst possible day, I come here, | 0:19:07 | 0:19:10 | |
I see Mike or I see a horse, | 0:19:10 | 0:19:12 | |
and my mood is like... | 0:19:12 | 0:19:15 | |
total different person. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:16 | |
Good lad. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:17 | |
Good position. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:18 | |
Nice and controlled. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:20 | |
Steady, steady. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:22 | |
I can go around here, if my Tourette's gets a bit bad, | 0:19:22 | 0:19:24 | |
Mike'll look at me, and I know that with his eyes he's saying, | 0:19:24 | 0:19:28 | |
"Chill, calm down, everything's fine." | 0:19:28 | 0:19:31 | |
It's, like, massively therapeutic mentally, physically, emotionally. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:35 | |
These riders haven't got much control | 0:19:37 | 0:19:39 | |
over access in life, walking, sitting up, running, | 0:19:39 | 0:19:43 | |
but, on horseback, they are in control of a half-a-tonne animal | 0:19:43 | 0:19:47 | |
and that gives them a great sense of achievement. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:49 | |
Go on, mate, pick up the reins all by yourself. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:52 | |
Look at those legs working now! | 0:19:52 | 0:19:54 | |
Wonderful. | 0:19:54 | 0:19:55 | |
Every minute they are using 1,000 involuntary muscle movements | 0:19:55 | 0:19:59 | |
without realising the benefits. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:01 | |
It relaxes the muscle tone, | 0:20:01 | 0:20:03 | |
the warmth through the horse, | 0:20:03 | 0:20:05 | |
and the confidence the horse gives them. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:07 | |
Once they start walking after riding, | 0:20:07 | 0:20:10 | |
you'll see that they have almost got a normal gait to their walk, | 0:20:10 | 0:20:14 | |
where before they wouldn't have been able to walk so easily. | 0:20:14 | 0:20:17 | |
Enjoy that? Yes? | 0:20:21 | 0:20:23 | |
Julie's done a lot of the courses over the years. | 0:20:23 | 0:20:25 | |
They do part coursework and part riding, | 0:20:25 | 0:20:29 | |
and she's got so many certificates. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:31 | |
Yes, piles of them! | 0:20:33 | 0:20:35 | |
And the groups that come on a Monday, | 0:20:38 | 0:20:41 | |
there's five from your centre, isn't there? | 0:20:41 | 0:20:43 | |
And they...do a lot of talking. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:46 | |
But they have great fun. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:50 | |
Let's see what parts of the saddle we can remember. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:56 | |
-Pommel. -Pommel, good. | 0:20:56 | 0:20:58 | |
There wasn't any cheating there, was there? | 0:20:58 | 0:21:00 | |
-Numnah. -Numnah. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:04 | |
-Stirrup. -Stirrup. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:08 | |
Her disabilities are so profound that she does need 24-hour care. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:13 | |
When it comes to this day that she comes every week, | 0:21:13 | 0:21:16 | |
something she can do without her parents, | 0:21:16 | 0:21:20 | |
so she's very independent | 0:21:20 | 0:21:21 | |
the days that she comes here. | 0:21:21 | 0:21:23 | |
He's just such a great man. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:25 | |
He comes in, big smile on his face, talking to us, | 0:21:25 | 0:21:28 | |
and he's just interesting and lovely and kind and caring. | 0:21:28 | 0:21:32 | |
Students inspire me. | 0:21:35 | 0:21:36 | |
If they've made the effort to get up every morning to come to college, | 0:21:36 | 0:21:40 | |
having somebody help them dress | 0:21:40 | 0:21:42 | |
because somebody they can't dress themselves, | 0:21:42 | 0:21:44 | |
having somebody help them feed because they can't feed themselves, | 0:21:44 | 0:21:47 | |
that gives me great motivation every day, | 0:21:47 | 0:21:49 | |
that if they've tried their best to get to college | 0:21:49 | 0:21:53 | |
through all those barriers before they even get to me, | 0:21:53 | 0:21:55 | |
I make sure that I give them the best. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:57 | |
-COMPUTERISED VOICE: -Thank you, Mike, for teaching me how to ride | 0:21:57 | 0:22:00 | |
and for making our lessons informative and such good fun. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:03 | |
-Headpiece. -Headpiece. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:04 | |
'Mike's my tutor, | 0:22:04 | 0:22:06 | |
he's my trainer, he's my coach,' | 0:22:06 | 0:22:09 | |
but he's also probably the best friend I've ever had. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:12 | |
I just can't forget about Mike and I just want him to go for gold. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:17 | |
-Yeah, let's give Mike the gold! -Yeah. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:20 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:22:20 | 0:22:23 | |
Ladies and gentlemen, our Further Education Lecturer of the Year, | 0:22:23 | 0:22:27 | |
Michael Butcher. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:28 | |
CHEERING | 0:22:28 | 0:22:30 | |
So, Mike, when did you first realise | 0:22:46 | 0:22:48 | |
that horse-riding would be beneficial for disabled students? | 0:22:48 | 0:22:52 | |
I was lucky enough to ride horses at a very young age, | 0:22:52 | 0:22:56 | |
coming from a mining village in South Wales, | 0:22:56 | 0:22:59 | |
not many opportunities at the time, | 0:22:59 | 0:23:01 | |
and that opened up so many different opportunities | 0:23:01 | 0:23:05 | |
for me to go on and eventually work with horses, | 0:23:05 | 0:23:09 | |
and then to coach riders, | 0:23:09 | 0:23:12 | |
so I knew what I got out of it, so I wanted to pass that on | 0:23:12 | 0:23:15 | |
to my students. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:17 | |
How far can your students go, do you think? | 0:23:17 | 0:23:19 | |
I mean, is there an opportunity at Paralympic level for show-jumping? | 0:23:19 | 0:23:22 | |
Well, I've started grassroots level show-jumping | 0:23:22 | 0:23:26 | |
with the Riding For The Disabled Association, | 0:23:26 | 0:23:28 | |
delivering show-jumping from grassroots up to Para level, | 0:23:28 | 0:23:32 | |
so that's something I'm very proud of. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:33 | |
Well, let's hope they get to the next Paralympic Games. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:37 | |
Ladies and gentlemen, our Further Education Lecturer of the Year, | 0:23:37 | 0:23:40 | |
Mike Butcher. | 0:23:40 | 0:23:42 | |
And thank you very much to Rudolph Walker. | 0:23:42 | 0:23:44 | |
Now, it's time for the award for Outstanding School Team of the Year - | 0:23:48 | 0:23:51 | |
that's a group of teachers who have come together | 0:23:51 | 0:23:53 | |
to deliver something really special - | 0:23:53 | 0:23:56 | |
and here to present the award | 0:23:56 | 0:23:57 | |
is a lady who's part of the team who wake you up in the morning, | 0:23:57 | 0:24:00 | |
and has most recently has been keeping us entertained | 0:24:00 | 0:24:03 | |
with her moves and various wigs on Saturday night. | 0:24:03 | 0:24:06 | |
Please welcome Naga Munchetty. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:08 | |
Nice to see you. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:17 | |
So, we've seen you in the newsroom and in the ballroom. | 0:24:17 | 0:24:20 | |
What were you like in the classroom? | 0:24:20 | 0:24:22 | |
I was a real boffin. | 0:24:22 | 0:24:24 | |
I loved school, absolutely loved school. | 0:24:24 | 0:24:27 | |
I used to wake up and be really happy to go to school, | 0:24:27 | 0:24:29 | |
just as I am now about going to work. | 0:24:29 | 0:24:31 | |
Your teachers were obviously inspirational. | 0:24:31 | 0:24:33 | |
-Yes. -But one of your teachers was a life-saver as well? | 0:24:33 | 0:24:36 | |
Mr Woolley. Mr Woolley. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:38 | |
So, at the age of ten, we went to this visit to Corfe Castle | 0:24:38 | 0:24:43 | |
and Mr Woolley told the whole class, "Do not run down the hill. | 0:24:43 | 0:24:47 | |
"If you run down the hill, there is a cliff edge. | 0:24:47 | 0:24:49 | |
"Don't run down the hill." | 0:24:49 | 0:24:50 | |
No-one tells me what to do! | 0:24:50 | 0:24:52 | |
So I ran down the hill. | 0:24:52 | 0:24:54 | |
The next thing I remember, | 0:24:54 | 0:24:55 | |
I was running down the hill and I couldn't stop, | 0:24:55 | 0:24:57 | |
I genuinely couldn't stop. | 0:24:57 | 0:24:59 | |
The next thing I knew, Mr Woolley came racing past me | 0:24:59 | 0:25:02 | |
in his little jumper and tie. | 0:25:02 | 0:25:04 | |
That's why he was called Mr Woolley, presumably? | 0:25:04 | 0:25:06 | |
-LAUGHTER -He looked like a Mr Woolley. | 0:25:06 | 0:25:09 | |
And he ran past me, picked me up, swung me round, | 0:25:09 | 0:25:11 | |
so the next thing I was doing was running up the hill | 0:25:11 | 0:25:13 | |
and then falling over. | 0:25:13 | 0:25:15 | |
He gave me a right old rollicking, but he saved my life. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:17 | |
But he also managed to stop himself, which was quite impressive. | 0:25:17 | 0:25:20 | |
Yes, he was a tough man. | 0:25:20 | 0:25:22 | |
So, can you tell us who's won? | 0:25:22 | 0:25:24 | |
I can indeed. | 0:25:24 | 0:25:26 | |
Absolutely delighted to be here tonight | 0:25:26 | 0:25:28 | |
and to present the award to the Outstanding School Team of the Year. | 0:25:28 | 0:25:33 | |
The winning team is... | 0:25:33 | 0:25:34 | |
The Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths Department | 0:25:36 | 0:25:39 | |
of Sandringham School in St Albans. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:41 | |
CHEERING | 0:25:41 | 0:25:43 | |
Sandringham is a mixed comprehensive School in St Albans. | 0:25:52 | 0:25:56 | |
We've recognised for a number of years | 0:25:56 | 0:25:58 | |
that there's been an issue with girls, | 0:25:58 | 0:26:00 | |
perhaps, not wanting to take STEM subjects. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:04 | |
A couple of years ago, we decided to do something about it. | 0:26:04 | 0:26:07 | |
We put together a STEM team and, basically, racked our brains | 0:26:10 | 0:26:13 | |
to see what more we could do to encourage young people | 0:26:13 | 0:26:16 | |
into science, technology, engineering and maths. | 0:26:16 | 0:26:21 | |
The big way that we did this | 0:26:21 | 0:26:22 | |
was our Space Week, | 0:26:22 | 0:26:23 | |
which was a theme week where all faculties and subjects | 0:26:23 | 0:26:25 | |
were involved with developing lessons | 0:26:25 | 0:26:27 | |
to do with the topic of space. | 0:26:27 | 0:26:29 | |
Lift off. | 0:26:32 | 0:26:34 | |
Chemistry, in particular, were looking at rocket propulsion | 0:26:34 | 0:26:37 | |
and setting fire to methane to see how that worked. | 0:26:37 | 0:26:39 | |
KIDS: Whoa! | 0:26:39 | 0:26:42 | |
In art, as well, the students were able to paint and draw, and sculpt. | 0:26:42 | 0:26:46 | |
They built a sculpture of the ISS during that week. | 0:26:46 | 0:26:49 | |
Early on we identified the opportunity | 0:26:50 | 0:26:53 | |
to speak to Tim Peake aboard the ISS. | 0:26:53 | 0:26:55 | |
This was going to be via amateur radio. | 0:26:55 | 0:26:58 | |
And our students took on the opportunity | 0:27:01 | 0:27:04 | |
to be station controllers, to ask the questions and so on. | 0:27:04 | 0:27:07 | |
CQ, CQ, CQ, 20 metres from M-0-S-E-Y. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:12 | |
In order to achieve contact, | 0:27:12 | 0:27:14 | |
three of our students needed to undertake | 0:27:14 | 0:27:16 | |
the amateur radio licence. | 0:27:16 | 0:27:18 | |
This is M-0-S-E-Y. | 0:27:18 | 0:27:20 | |
The three were successful and became the youngest people in the country | 0:27:20 | 0:27:23 | |
to hold the licence. | 0:27:23 | 0:27:25 | |
It was nerve-racking and we were really worried | 0:27:29 | 0:27:33 | |
that potentially we'd set all this up, we had media, | 0:27:33 | 0:27:36 | |
we had hundreds of students waiting in anticipation, | 0:27:36 | 0:27:39 | |
and we just had that moment where we thought, "This might not happen." | 0:27:39 | 0:27:44 | |
Sierra, alpha, November calling and standing by | 0:27:44 | 0:27:47 | |
for a scheduled contact with the International Space Station, over. | 0:27:47 | 0:27:52 | |
'Hello, golf, bravo, one, zero...' | 0:27:55 | 0:27:58 | |
Finally, Jessica managed to make contact. | 0:27:58 | 0:28:01 | |
Over 18 million people watched it. | 0:28:01 | 0:28:03 | |
The school was buzzing. | 0:28:03 | 0:28:05 | |
Are you ready for your first question? Over. | 0:28:05 | 0:28:08 | |
The whole country was buzzing off it, which is such an achievement. | 0:28:08 | 0:28:11 | |
Talking to Tim Peake was surreal. | 0:28:11 | 0:28:13 | |
It was an amazing experience and it was only really on the day | 0:28:13 | 0:28:16 | |
that I realised just how big an event it was. | 0:28:16 | 0:28:19 | |
I still work with the radio team now. | 0:28:19 | 0:28:21 | |
We've had a few more newcomers. | 0:28:21 | 0:28:24 | |
It's all down to the STEM team, really, | 0:28:24 | 0:28:26 | |
the interest in radio and STEM subjects. | 0:28:26 | 0:28:28 | |
This is one of the great privileges of being a teacher - | 0:28:28 | 0:28:30 | |
that small moment in time can be the difference between | 0:28:30 | 0:28:33 | |
choosing one career path and choosing another path. | 0:28:33 | 0:28:36 | |
We've really raised the profile of STEM. | 0:28:44 | 0:28:46 | |
We've really enthused a love | 0:28:46 | 0:28:47 | |
for science, technology, engineering and maths, | 0:28:47 | 0:28:50 | |
and I think the students will take that on for life now. | 0:28:50 | 0:28:53 | |
How many rockets do we have to launch ready? | 0:28:53 | 0:28:57 | |
Certainly, the young people that we work with, | 0:29:00 | 0:29:03 | |
and particularly the girls who were underrepresented | 0:29:03 | 0:29:05 | |
in science and technology and maths previously, | 0:29:05 | 0:29:07 | |
are hitting new heights. | 0:29:07 | 0:29:09 | |
In the future, I hope to get an apprenticeship in a lab. | 0:29:13 | 0:29:16 | |
It is definitely down to the STEM team that my interest in science | 0:29:16 | 0:29:19 | |
has been increased | 0:29:19 | 0:29:20 | |
because they have opened my eyes to so many different opportunities | 0:29:20 | 0:29:24 | |
and different areas in science. | 0:29:24 | 0:29:26 | |
That makes us proud, | 0:29:26 | 0:29:27 | |
that these students may not have considered this | 0:29:27 | 0:29:29 | |
as a career choice in the past, | 0:29:29 | 0:29:30 | |
but through the actions of Space Week | 0:29:30 | 0:29:32 | |
they've really considered that they can do it, | 0:29:32 | 0:29:34 | |
can be successful, and guess what? It's fun. | 0:29:34 | 0:29:37 | |
ALL: Three, two, one! | 0:29:40 | 0:29:43 | |
'Engine at maximum thrust, lift-off.' | 0:29:46 | 0:29:49 | |
Ladies and gentlemen, our Outstanding School Team of the Year, | 0:29:51 | 0:29:54 | |
the STEM team from Sandringham School in St Albans. | 0:29:54 | 0:29:57 | |
Are you taking this? | 0:29:59 | 0:30:01 | |
Congratulations. Well done. | 0:30:02 | 0:30:05 | |
Well done. | 0:30:05 | 0:30:06 | |
So, one of you is Alan. | 0:30:06 | 0:30:08 | |
-I'm Alan. -Space Week was last year, when Tim Peake was up in space, | 0:30:08 | 0:30:13 | |
so what happens next year to keep the kids interested | 0:30:13 | 0:30:17 | |
in science and technology? | 0:30:17 | 0:30:19 | |
Well, we have actually got one of the other members of staff | 0:30:19 | 0:30:21 | |
in the audience and he's managed to get us | 0:30:21 | 0:30:23 | |
one of these large weather balloons, | 0:30:23 | 0:30:25 | |
so we're sending that up into the stratosphere | 0:30:25 | 0:30:27 | |
with a load of data and stuff. | 0:30:27 | 0:30:29 | |
Are you going to maybe put an unruly child in there? | 0:30:29 | 0:30:31 | |
I've got one in mind. | 0:30:31 | 0:30:33 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:30:33 | 0:30:35 | |
Maybe a member of staff actually! | 0:30:35 | 0:30:37 | |
But I would like to thank the team, and there's a load more there. | 0:30:37 | 0:30:40 | |
It's not a single person that's done this, | 0:30:40 | 0:30:42 | |
it's a combined effort, and I think that's why it's been recognised. | 0:30:42 | 0:30:45 | |
Well, well done to all of you. | 0:30:45 | 0:30:47 | |
Ladies and gentlemen, our Outstanding Team of the Year, | 0:30:47 | 0:30:50 | |
the STEM team from Sandringham School, | 0:30:50 | 0:30:53 | |
and thank you to Naga Munchetty. | 0:30:53 | 0:30:55 | |
Our next Plato is for Excellence in Special Needs Education. | 0:31:02 | 0:31:06 | |
Now, as well as being a teacher, | 0:31:06 | 0:31:08 | |
the winner of this award is an entertainer, | 0:31:08 | 0:31:10 | |
a stage and film director and editor | 0:31:10 | 0:31:13 | |
who has discovered talent in children who've quite often | 0:31:13 | 0:31:16 | |
been written off by others. | 0:31:16 | 0:31:17 | |
So, to surprise him, we needed someone | 0:31:17 | 0:31:20 | |
with suitable theatrical gravitas, | 0:31:20 | 0:31:23 | |
actor Timothy West. | 0:31:23 | 0:31:26 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:31:26 | 0:31:29 | |
This is Cricket Green School in south London, | 0:31:29 | 0:31:33 | |
where they educate children from four to 19 with special needs, | 0:31:33 | 0:31:37 | |
including autism, behavioural difficulties and Down's syndrome. | 0:31:37 | 0:31:42 | |
I'm here to present their head of performing arts | 0:31:42 | 0:31:45 | |
with this award for Excellence in Special Needs Education. | 0:31:45 | 0:31:49 | |
He's a remarkable man, | 0:31:49 | 0:31:51 | |
started his career on cruise ships and on children's television, | 0:31:51 | 0:31:55 | |
before settling down and bringing his love of theatre into schools. | 0:31:55 | 0:32:00 | |
So, on the carpet, can you see we've got a not very well drawn circle? | 0:32:04 | 0:32:10 | |
In the circle...we're going to have our boys. | 0:32:10 | 0:32:14 | |
'Cricket Green has got a real range of diverse needs, | 0:32:14 | 0:32:16 | |
'so pupils with Down's syndrome, autism,' | 0:32:16 | 0:32:18 | |
those with emotional and behavioural difficulties, | 0:32:18 | 0:32:21 | |
so a real collection of different characters | 0:32:21 | 0:32:24 | |
all under one roof. | 0:32:24 | 0:32:25 | |
Let's have all the boys in the circle. | 0:32:25 | 0:32:29 | |
He's funny, kind, | 0:32:29 | 0:32:32 | |
and also likes to be making jokes on me! | 0:32:32 | 0:32:38 | |
I'm constantly amazed by the depth of Richard's commitment, | 0:32:38 | 0:32:41 | |
the piece about the Somme that he did, | 0:32:41 | 0:32:43 | |
he pushes the limits on everything he does. | 0:32:43 | 0:32:45 | |
We got to build a trench out in the middle of the forest | 0:32:45 | 0:32:49 | |
and perform to members of the public. | 0:32:49 | 0:32:52 | |
We performed Macbeth but turned it into a modern-day script | 0:32:52 | 0:32:55 | |
based around Scotland's Got Talent. | 0:32:55 | 0:32:58 | |
I've been in two World War scenes | 0:32:59 | 0:33:03 | |
and there was another one at Wimbledon Theatre. | 0:33:03 | 0:33:08 | |
Now, I think, Brown's doing another play. | 0:33:08 | 0:33:11 | |
We thought they wouldn't get on the stage | 0:33:14 | 0:33:17 | |
because they used to turn their backs on people | 0:33:17 | 0:33:18 | |
when they were scared, but they didn't. | 0:33:18 | 0:33:20 | |
They went up and absolutely smashed it! | 0:33:20 | 0:33:22 | |
We could never have even imagined | 0:33:25 | 0:33:27 | |
Callum being involved in a group like that, | 0:33:27 | 0:33:30 | |
but Mr Brown has just egged him on. | 0:33:30 | 0:33:32 | |
I don't know how he does it. | 0:33:32 | 0:33:34 | |
At the end, they can't believe they've gone up | 0:33:35 | 0:33:39 | |
in front of all the bright lights and they've done what they've done. | 0:33:39 | 0:33:43 | |
# Keep the home fires burning | 0:33:46 | 0:33:50 | |
# Though your heart is yearning | 0:33:50 | 0:33:54 | |
# When the lights are far away... # | 0:33:54 | 0:33:58 | |
Luke is a young man who came to our school. | 0:33:58 | 0:34:01 | |
He's got autism, which obviously makes things... | 0:34:01 | 0:34:03 | |
makes the world around him difficult to understand at times. | 0:34:03 | 0:34:06 | |
He'd come out of the mainstream setting | 0:34:06 | 0:34:08 | |
having been quite badly bullied. | 0:34:08 | 0:34:10 | |
Easy does it. | 0:34:10 | 0:34:12 | |
This one day I was waiting for Luke | 0:34:12 | 0:34:15 | |
and he hadn't come out of the cloakroom, | 0:34:15 | 0:34:18 | |
so I thought, "That's strange." | 0:34:18 | 0:34:20 | |
The kids hung him to a clothes peg | 0:34:20 | 0:34:24 | |
while he's standing on, they've got the long benches, | 0:34:24 | 0:34:28 | |
so if he put his foot down, | 0:34:28 | 0:34:31 | |
well, I think Luke would have... | 0:34:31 | 0:34:35 | |
He might not have died, | 0:34:35 | 0:34:37 | |
but he would have found himself in a difficult predicament. | 0:34:37 | 0:34:41 | |
He was very low on confidence | 0:34:41 | 0:34:43 | |
and his self-esteem was probably rock bottom. | 0:34:43 | 0:34:46 | |
He's just changed Luke's whole, whole life. | 0:34:46 | 0:34:51 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:34:51 | 0:34:55 | |
He said, "Look, your son is very musical, | 0:34:55 | 0:34:58 | |
"so that is what we're going to do." | 0:34:58 | 0:35:01 | |
I really owe him a lot for what he's done. | 0:35:01 | 0:35:04 | |
I'm still thinking of Mr Brown all the time. | 0:35:04 | 0:35:07 | |
I can always hear him saying, "You go, Lukester!" | 0:35:11 | 0:35:15 | |
I never forget that part! | 0:35:15 | 0:35:16 | |
Luke was going for an audition and seemed a bit nervous, | 0:35:18 | 0:35:23 | |
and I said to him, "How do you get through it?" | 0:35:23 | 0:35:26 | |
He said to me, "Mum, I just think of Mr Brown and Cricket Green", | 0:35:26 | 0:35:32 | |
and that was it. We both started laughing! | 0:35:32 | 0:35:35 | |
Well... Obviously, hearing what Luke's mum says about that | 0:35:37 | 0:35:43 | |
is... | 0:35:43 | 0:35:45 | |
Oh, it's amazing, really, that he can take a part of our school | 0:35:45 | 0:35:49 | |
and what we've done together... | 0:35:49 | 0:35:53 | |
that can help him... | 0:35:53 | 0:35:55 | |
cos that's the idea, | 0:35:55 | 0:35:57 | |
that we give them things that are long-lasting | 0:35:57 | 0:35:59 | |
and they can take with them forever. | 0:35:59 | 0:36:01 | |
If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be where I am today. | 0:36:01 | 0:36:04 | |
I am now in St Mary's University | 0:36:04 | 0:36:07 | |
doing drama and theatre arts. | 0:36:07 | 0:36:09 | |
CHEERING | 0:36:09 | 0:36:11 | |
He helped me, basically, to follow my dream. | 0:36:11 | 0:36:15 | |
Yeah. He helped me to follow my dream, yeah. | 0:36:15 | 0:36:18 | |
So that's why he's getting this special award. | 0:36:21 | 0:36:24 | |
At the moment, Richard is running a drama class next-door, | 0:36:24 | 0:36:28 | |
but he won't be expecting this. | 0:36:28 | 0:36:30 | |
So, that's your cue. | 0:36:33 | 0:36:34 | |
Arms unfolded. | 0:36:34 | 0:36:36 | |
-Remember, you're a little bird. -Hello. | 0:36:36 | 0:36:38 | |
-Hello, sir. -Sorry to interrupt. | 0:36:38 | 0:36:40 | |
My name's Timothy West | 0:36:40 | 0:36:42 | |
and it's my great pleasure today to give Mr Brown | 0:36:42 | 0:36:47 | |
this year's award for Excellence in Special Needs Education. | 0:36:47 | 0:36:52 | |
There you are. | 0:36:52 | 0:36:54 | |
-Oh, wow! -APPLAUSE | 0:36:54 | 0:36:56 | |
Well done, Mr Brown! | 0:36:56 | 0:36:58 | |
Thank you! | 0:37:00 | 0:37:01 | |
Oh, amazing! | 0:37:03 | 0:37:05 | |
I don't know what to say! | 0:37:05 | 0:37:07 | |
Thank you very much! | 0:37:07 | 0:37:08 | |
-Is that real gold? -It's real gold, yes! | 0:37:08 | 0:37:11 | |
Yes, I think it is! | 0:37:11 | 0:37:12 | |
Let's all gather round. | 0:37:14 | 0:37:16 | |
Three cheers for Mr Brown. Hip-hip... | 0:37:16 | 0:37:17 | |
ALL: Hurray! | 0:37:17 | 0:37:20 | |
-Hip-hip... -Hurray! | 0:37:20 | 0:37:22 | |
-Hip-hip... -Hurray! | 0:37:22 | 0:37:24 | |
Well done. | 0:37:24 | 0:37:25 | |
CHEERING | 0:37:25 | 0:37:27 | |
Ladies and gentlemen, | 0:37:27 | 0:37:29 | |
the winner of the Excellence in Special Needs Education, | 0:37:29 | 0:37:32 | |
from Cricket Green School in Mitcham, is Richard Brown. | 0:37:32 | 0:37:36 | |
CHEERING | 0:37:36 | 0:37:38 | |
So, our next award | 0:37:48 | 0:37:49 | |
is for Headteacher of the Year in a Primary School, | 0:37:49 | 0:37:52 | |
a role that requires determination and stamina, | 0:37:52 | 0:37:55 | |
which is why the lady who is here to present the award is a perfect fit. | 0:37:55 | 0:37:59 | |
She followed her father into teaching | 0:37:59 | 0:38:01 | |
before becoming an Olympic rower, winning gold in both London and Rio. | 0:38:01 | 0:38:05 | |
Would you please welcome Helen Glover? | 0:38:05 | 0:38:08 | |
So, Helen, you trained as a PE teacher | 0:38:22 | 0:38:24 | |
before becoming an Olympic rower. Which is harder - | 0:38:24 | 0:38:26 | |
training to become an Olympic champion | 0:38:26 | 0:38:27 | |
or looking after a classroom full of kids? | 0:38:27 | 0:38:29 | |
I mean, it's close. Both are pretty intimidating - | 0:38:29 | 0:38:32 | |
walking into a classroom of children and sitting on a start line. | 0:38:32 | 0:38:35 | |
I just have so much respect for teachers. | 0:38:35 | 0:38:37 | |
I think, until I started teaching myself, | 0:38:37 | 0:38:39 | |
I didn't realise the dedication and the hard work | 0:38:39 | 0:38:43 | |
that goes into teaching every single day. | 0:38:43 | 0:38:45 | |
So just a big thanks to the teachers out there | 0:38:45 | 0:38:48 | |
because you do an incredible job. | 0:38:48 | 0:38:49 | |
Can you tell us who has won? | 0:38:49 | 0:38:51 | |
I am delighted to present the award | 0:38:54 | 0:38:56 | |
for Head Teacher of the Year in a Primary School. | 0:38:56 | 0:38:59 | |
The winner from Tregolls School in Truro | 0:38:59 | 0:39:02 | |
is Matt Middlemore. | 0:39:02 | 0:39:04 | |
CHEERING | 0:39:04 | 0:39:06 | |
Morning, girls. | 0:39:14 | 0:39:16 | |
Morning, Mum. Morning! | 0:39:16 | 0:39:18 | |
Come on. See you later, Mum. | 0:39:19 | 0:39:22 | |
Hello. Welcome to Tregolls School. | 0:39:22 | 0:39:24 | |
-I'm Rio. -And I'm Kian. | 0:39:24 | 0:39:26 | |
And we're going to tell you why Mr Middlemore is so good. | 0:39:26 | 0:39:28 | |
-Is he? -Look, it says here! | 0:39:28 | 0:39:30 | |
It must be true. | 0:39:30 | 0:39:31 | |
Hello, boys. | 0:39:36 | 0:39:37 | |
-Hello, sir. -How did you become a teacher? | 0:39:37 | 0:39:40 | |
I was in the Army for ten years. | 0:39:40 | 0:39:42 | |
I was in the Royal Artillery. | 0:39:42 | 0:39:44 | |
I was in an Arctic warfare unit called 19 5 Battery. | 0:39:44 | 0:39:47 | |
I left the Army and became a ski teacher | 0:39:47 | 0:39:50 | |
and, when I was working at a resort in Switzerland, | 0:39:50 | 0:39:52 | |
the headteacher there invited me to come back | 0:39:52 | 0:39:54 | |
and work in his school once the snow was all gone. | 0:39:54 | 0:39:57 | |
And, from there, the rest is history. | 0:39:57 | 0:39:59 | |
Who's that over there? | 0:40:08 | 0:40:09 | |
It's Mr Middlemore's boss. | 0:40:11 | 0:40:12 | |
He looks scary. You go first. | 0:40:12 | 0:40:14 | |
Hello, boys, what did you want to ask me? | 0:40:17 | 0:40:18 | |
Does Mr Middlemore do any real work around here? | 0:40:18 | 0:40:22 | |
Yes, Mr Middlemore does lots of work. | 0:40:22 | 0:40:23 | |
I think he works in his sleep. | 0:40:23 | 0:40:25 | |
One person from your team of three... | 0:40:25 | 0:40:27 | |
Four years ago, the school was in the bottom 15 in the country | 0:40:27 | 0:40:30 | |
and the school was in special measures. | 0:40:30 | 0:40:33 | |
28 multiplied by 4. | 0:40:33 | 0:40:35 | |
And when Mr Middlemore arrived, | 0:40:35 | 0:40:37 | |
he came in with an idea to turn the school around. | 0:40:37 | 0:40:39 | |
Work hard. Keep going, Molly! | 0:40:39 | 0:40:42 | |
And, in 18 months, the inspectors came back | 0:40:42 | 0:40:44 | |
and they said we were good and on the borderline of outstanding. | 0:40:44 | 0:40:47 | |
We've gone from being one of the worst performing schools | 0:40:47 | 0:40:50 | |
in the country to being one of the best performing schools | 0:40:50 | 0:40:53 | |
and we keep getting bigger and better. | 0:40:53 | 0:40:55 | |
Stop! Count! | 0:40:55 | 0:40:56 | |
Heart rate. Good. | 0:40:56 | 0:40:58 | |
We are living the dream here. | 0:40:58 | 0:41:00 | |
Multiply by four. | 0:41:02 | 0:41:03 | |
Time is what's on my watch. | 0:41:03 | 0:41:05 | |
Is he a bit boring sometimes? | 0:41:05 | 0:41:07 | |
I don't know how to answer that! | 0:41:11 | 0:41:13 | |
-Hello, boys. -Hello, Miss. | 0:41:21 | 0:41:23 | |
Did you ever tell off Mr Middlemore? | 0:41:23 | 0:41:25 | |
Yes, I did, when I first met him. | 0:41:25 | 0:41:27 | |
Everyone had their guard up, | 0:41:27 | 0:41:28 | |
so we were a bit scared. | 0:41:28 | 0:41:30 | |
So we told him that, if he didn't fit in | 0:41:30 | 0:41:32 | |
with what we wanted him to do for this school, | 0:41:32 | 0:41:34 | |
he could get on the Tamar Bridge and do one. | 0:41:34 | 0:41:36 | |
Are you and Mr Middlemore best friends now? | 0:41:36 | 0:41:38 | |
Yes. He's come in, fixed our school | 0:41:38 | 0:41:41 | |
and done what he said he was going to do. | 0:41:41 | 0:41:44 | |
Hence, Miss Wright's tattoo - | 0:41:44 | 0:41:46 | |
"Living the dream." | 0:41:46 | 0:41:48 | |
Jelly and ice cream, Summer? | 0:41:49 | 0:41:51 | |
How did Mr Middlemore help the teachers? | 0:41:52 | 0:41:55 | |
Well, when Mr Middlemore arrived, | 0:41:55 | 0:41:56 | |
they had low morale and he brought in a life coach | 0:41:56 | 0:41:58 | |
to help them build confidence. | 0:41:58 | 0:42:00 | |
I realised if we could get the teachers to function effectively... | 0:42:00 | 0:42:05 | |
that was just going to impact upon everything else, | 0:42:05 | 0:42:07 | |
so all we did was focus solely on teaching | 0:42:07 | 0:42:09 | |
and the impact it has on learning. | 0:42:09 | 0:42:11 | |
When Ofsted came back in 18 months, | 0:42:11 | 0:42:12 | |
they said teaching was strong throughout the school. | 0:42:12 | 0:42:15 | |
Matt supports Troops to Teachers. | 0:42:17 | 0:42:19 | |
That scheme allowed ex-service men, like myself, | 0:42:19 | 0:42:22 | |
I left in June of this year, | 0:42:22 | 0:42:24 | |
to join a two-year programme to become a fully-qualified teacher. | 0:42:24 | 0:42:29 | |
Good goal. OK. | 0:42:29 | 0:42:32 | |
Matt has the knack to get everybody just to give that extra 10% more. | 0:42:32 | 0:42:37 | |
And there's no end to what you can achieve. | 0:42:39 | 0:42:42 | |
He talks about the best in Truro, Cornwall, the United Kingdom. | 0:42:42 | 0:42:46 | |
We're looking to the world. | 0:42:46 | 0:42:47 | |
We're living the dream. | 0:42:47 | 0:42:49 | |
-BOTH: -Yeah, living the dream! | 0:42:49 | 0:42:51 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:42:51 | 0:42:54 | |
Ladies and gentlemen, our Primary Headteacher of the Year, | 0:42:54 | 0:42:57 | |
Matt Middlemore! | 0:42:57 | 0:42:59 | |
Well done. | 0:43:08 | 0:43:11 | |
So, Matt, do you have a tattoo on your arm saying, | 0:43:11 | 0:43:14 | |
"I told you it would work"? | 0:43:14 | 0:43:16 | |
-LAUGHTER -We're still living the dream. | 0:43:16 | 0:43:18 | |
Living the dream. Fantastic. | 0:43:18 | 0:43:20 | |
So, which part of your military training | 0:43:20 | 0:43:22 | |
do you think has helped you most? | 0:43:22 | 0:43:24 | |
I spent most of my time helping others in the Balkans, in Kosovo, | 0:43:24 | 0:43:28 | |
Bosnia and Croatia, | 0:43:28 | 0:43:30 | |
and what we're doing now in the classroom | 0:43:30 | 0:43:33 | |
is we're just helping children to be the very, very best. | 0:43:33 | 0:43:35 | |
And you spoke in the film about the morale of teaching staff | 0:43:35 | 0:43:40 | |
being at a very low ebb when the school was effectively on the brink. | 0:43:40 | 0:43:43 | |
What did you do to raise the morale of your teachers? | 0:43:43 | 0:43:46 | |
This award doesn't just belong to me, | 0:43:46 | 0:43:48 | |
it belongs to all the teachers, all the TAs, | 0:43:48 | 0:43:51 | |
all the parents, all the pupils. | 0:43:51 | 0:43:52 | |
If I could break this up and give it to everybody, I would. | 0:43:52 | 0:43:54 | |
It belongs to them. | 0:43:54 | 0:43:56 | |
I just focused on raising their profile, | 0:43:57 | 0:43:59 | |
making them feel that they are the best, | 0:43:59 | 0:44:01 | |
and they are the best, and one day we will be the best in the world. | 0:44:01 | 0:44:04 | |
Well, I hope you carry on living the dream. | 0:44:04 | 0:44:06 | |
Ladies and gentlemen, Primary Headteacher of the Year, | 0:44:06 | 0:44:09 | |
Matt Middlemore. | 0:44:09 | 0:44:11 | |
Thank you, Helen Glover. | 0:44:11 | 0:44:12 | |
So, now to our final award of the night - for Lifetime Achievement. | 0:44:17 | 0:44:22 | |
To present this one, one of our most talented and versatile actresses. | 0:44:22 | 0:44:26 | |
On screen she found fame in Abigail's Party | 0:44:26 | 0:44:29 | |
and on stage she picked up an Olivier Award | 0:44:29 | 0:44:32 | |
for The Rise And Fall Of Little Voice. | 0:44:32 | 0:44:34 | |
In her glittering career, | 0:44:34 | 0:44:36 | |
she more recently became a firm favourite in Gavin And Stacey | 0:44:36 | 0:44:39 | |
and can currently be seen giving us an insight | 0:44:39 | 0:44:41 | |
into some of the more secluded spots around the UK | 0:44:41 | 0:44:44 | |
in her series Little British Isles. | 0:44:44 | 0:44:47 | |
Would you please welcome Alison Steadman? | 0:44:47 | 0:44:50 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:44:50 | 0:44:53 | |
So we've been celebrating the country's best teachers tonight | 0:44:59 | 0:45:03 | |
and you had a very special drama teacher, I think. | 0:45:03 | 0:45:07 | |
I did. She was called Mildred Spencer, | 0:45:07 | 0:45:10 | |
and I was in youth theatre, | 0:45:10 | 0:45:12 | |
and she was an absolute inspiration. | 0:45:12 | 0:45:14 | |
She was fun, she was full of energy. | 0:45:14 | 0:45:17 | |
She gave you the feeling that you can do anything, | 0:45:17 | 0:45:21 | |
you can be anybody, and she was wonderful. | 0:45:21 | 0:45:24 | |
I lost touch with her over the years, the way one does, | 0:45:24 | 0:45:28 | |
and then I went to film on the Isle of Man. | 0:45:28 | 0:45:32 | |
I was in my hotel one day and a card appeared from Mildred, | 0:45:32 | 0:45:36 | |
and she invited me around for a meal. | 0:45:36 | 0:45:38 | |
I went round to see her and it was an absolute joy. | 0:45:38 | 0:45:42 | |
We shared a bottle of wine, | 0:45:42 | 0:45:43 | |
we reminisced and we just became friends. | 0:45:43 | 0:45:46 | |
She was an absolute inspiration. | 0:45:46 | 0:45:49 | |
Because you had such a special teacher, | 0:45:49 | 0:45:50 | |
do you appreciate the very special role that teachers fulfil? | 0:45:50 | 0:45:55 | |
Oh, absolutely, because so many kids, | 0:45:55 | 0:45:58 | |
they have talent, they have potential, | 0:45:58 | 0:46:01 | |
but they haven't got the ability to actually harness that talent, | 0:46:01 | 0:46:04 | |
to do something with it. | 0:46:04 | 0:46:06 | |
You've got to have someone like that who's going to say, | 0:46:06 | 0:46:08 | |
"Yes, you can do it. Come on, you can do it", | 0:46:08 | 0:46:12 | |
and actually, you know, provide that get-up-and-go thing. | 0:46:12 | 0:46:15 | |
Well, now, you'll be glad to know you can do it, | 0:46:15 | 0:46:17 | |
you can tell us who has won the award. | 0:46:17 | 0:46:21 | |
With my pleasure. | 0:46:21 | 0:46:22 | |
So, it's my privilege to present the award for Lifetime Achievement. | 0:46:25 | 0:46:31 | |
The winner from Paignton Community and Sports Academy | 0:46:31 | 0:46:36 | |
is Jane English! | 0:46:36 | 0:46:38 | |
I was born in Paignton | 0:46:57 | 0:46:59 | |
and I came here in 1982 | 0:46:59 | 0:47:01 | |
as a teacher of physical education, | 0:47:01 | 0:47:03 | |
and I've been here ever since. | 0:47:03 | 0:47:05 | |
How many of you could give me a word that sums up friendship? | 0:47:05 | 0:47:09 | |
Brilliant. | 0:47:12 | 0:47:13 | |
'I became head here in 1998' | 0:47:13 | 0:47:16 | |
and one of the things that I needed to do very quickly | 0:47:16 | 0:47:19 | |
was to raise pupil aspirations. | 0:47:19 | 0:47:21 | |
In 2002, we became a sports college. | 0:47:23 | 0:47:28 | |
I felt sport had something for everyone... | 0:47:28 | 0:47:31 | |
Well-played. | 0:47:31 | 0:47:32 | |
..and it's absolutely flourished from that time. | 0:47:32 | 0:47:36 | |
We've opened up community sports facilities | 0:47:36 | 0:47:38 | |
and we now have 2,000 | 0:47:38 | 0:47:40 | |
community users per week. | 0:47:40 | 0:47:42 | |
On a Friday evening, | 0:47:42 | 0:47:43 | |
we have something called social inclusion football, | 0:47:43 | 0:47:46 | |
which encourages young people to come along and play football, | 0:47:46 | 0:47:49 | |
be part of a team, and that has had an impact within Torbay | 0:47:49 | 0:47:54 | |
in terms of reducing the crime that was taking place | 0:47:54 | 0:47:56 | |
on a Friday evening. | 0:47:56 | 0:47:58 | |
Jane has been the longest-standing headteacher in Torbay | 0:48:01 | 0:48:04 | |
and has taught three generation of students, including myself. | 0:48:04 | 0:48:08 | |
In 1998, Jane introduced the Tic Tac Advice Information Centre | 0:48:10 | 0:48:15 | |
for students needing that extra support | 0:48:15 | 0:48:17 | |
with difficult home lives, anxiety, | 0:48:17 | 0:48:20 | |
you know, social media was starting to rear its head. | 0:48:20 | 0:48:24 | |
Just a safe place for students to come and talk to somebody | 0:48:24 | 0:48:28 | |
that was in a non-teaching post. | 0:48:28 | 0:48:30 | |
It was an absolutely amazing success. | 0:48:30 | 0:48:33 | |
I was born with a number of problems, | 0:48:36 | 0:48:38 | |
the main one being my hearing impairment, | 0:48:38 | 0:48:41 | |
which means obviously I can't hear as well as other people, | 0:48:41 | 0:48:45 | |
with, like, normal hearing. | 0:48:45 | 0:48:46 | |
As Matt approached 11 years old, | 0:48:46 | 0:48:48 | |
we had to make a decision. | 0:48:48 | 0:48:50 | |
We had to select a school for his secondary education | 0:48:50 | 0:48:53 | |
and I came to this one to have a look around | 0:48:53 | 0:48:56 | |
and, I have to say, I wasn't overly impressed. | 0:48:56 | 0:48:59 | |
I was worried about academic achievement, | 0:49:00 | 0:49:02 | |
being able to keep up with his peers, | 0:49:02 | 0:49:04 | |
so it was on that basis I said, | 0:49:04 | 0:49:06 | |
"Right, a month, and if he doesn't come up to it, | 0:49:06 | 0:49:09 | |
"trust me, we will move him out." | 0:49:09 | 0:49:12 | |
Miss English provided, like, soft skills, like perseverance. | 0:49:12 | 0:49:16 | |
Great, those are two really good definitions. | 0:49:16 | 0:49:19 | |
And I think that's obviously what helped me when I went to university. | 0:49:19 | 0:49:23 | |
I came out with a first-class degree. | 0:49:23 | 0:49:26 | |
I got it wrong. | 0:49:28 | 0:49:30 | |
I'm grateful to Miss English, she got it right. | 0:49:30 | 0:49:33 | |
I've obviously seen huge numbers of students | 0:49:41 | 0:49:44 | |
and some of them stand out. | 0:49:44 | 0:49:46 | |
Some of them have been extremely successful, | 0:49:46 | 0:49:49 | |
one of which is Hugh Maynard. | 0:49:49 | 0:49:51 | |
I remember him being a bit of a devil, | 0:49:51 | 0:49:54 | |
but I also remember him being a very talented young man, | 0:49:54 | 0:49:57 | |
who is now a West End star, | 0:49:57 | 0:49:58 | |
and I'm extremely proud to have known Hugh and to have taught him. | 0:49:58 | 0:50:02 | |
I've never seen anyone like Jane in terms of drive, passion, | 0:50:06 | 0:50:10 | |
desire and single-minded commitment | 0:50:10 | 0:50:13 | |
to do the best for young people. | 0:50:13 | 0:50:14 | |
She's inspirational. | 0:50:16 | 0:50:19 | |
Excellence is not an act, it's a habit... | 0:50:19 | 0:50:23 | |
and Jane has that habit. | 0:50:23 | 0:50:25 | |
She is incredible, absolutely incredible. | 0:50:25 | 0:50:28 | |
Can't thank her enough. | 0:50:28 | 0:50:29 | |
Thank you, Jane. | 0:50:31 | 0:50:32 | |
Ladies and gentlemen, our Lifetime Achievement Winner, | 0:50:39 | 0:50:42 | |
Jane English! | 0:50:42 | 0:50:44 | |
-Congratulations, Jane. -Thank you. -Wonderful. | 0:50:52 | 0:50:56 | |
Well done. Well done. | 0:50:56 | 0:50:58 | |
-Thank you very much indeed. -It's heavy. | 0:50:58 | 0:51:00 | |
Is it heavy? OK, I've got it. | 0:51:00 | 0:51:02 | |
So, Jane, 34 years in one school. | 0:51:02 | 0:51:05 | |
Why did you stay? | 0:51:05 | 0:51:07 | |
Because I loved it so much. | 0:51:07 | 0:51:09 | |
It was just a magnificent place to work, and still is, actually. | 0:51:09 | 0:51:13 | |
You have stayed in Torbay, | 0:51:13 | 0:51:16 | |
but you have links, don't you, with other schools around the world? | 0:51:16 | 0:51:19 | |
I do indeed. | 0:51:19 | 0:51:21 | |
I've been very, very fortunate to work with schools in Nigeria, | 0:51:21 | 0:51:24 | |
done lots of work out there, which has been fantastic, | 0:51:24 | 0:51:27 | |
and I think that's brought a lot to our school, | 0:51:27 | 0:51:30 | |
having visitors across from the continent of Africa. | 0:51:30 | 0:51:34 | |
Our children really have enjoyed that and got a lot out of it, | 0:51:34 | 0:51:36 | |
so it's been great. | 0:51:36 | 0:51:39 | |
And next Easter, I think, you retire. | 0:51:39 | 0:51:42 | |
I do indeed. | 0:51:42 | 0:51:43 | |
Is that a terrifying thought, or are you looking forward to that? | 0:51:43 | 0:51:46 | |
It's not a terrifying thought at all. | 0:51:46 | 0:51:49 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:51:49 | 0:51:51 | |
In fact, I'm quite looking forward to a bit of skiing, a bit of golf, | 0:51:51 | 0:51:54 | |
and I'm hoping to continue with the international work that I've done. | 0:51:54 | 0:51:57 | |
Well, if it's rowing you're interested in, | 0:51:57 | 0:51:59 | |
we've got someone here tonight who could help you. | 0:51:59 | 0:52:01 | |
That would be great. Yeah, I'm up for anything, absolutely! | 0:52:01 | 0:52:04 | |
Now, Jane, you mentioned someone in the film | 0:52:04 | 0:52:08 | |
who's gone on to star in the West End's biggest musicals. | 0:52:08 | 0:52:11 | |
Well, he's keen to say thank you to you | 0:52:11 | 0:52:14 | |
and he's here tonight to perform for you. | 0:52:14 | 0:52:17 | |
Will you please welcome Hugh Maynard? | 0:52:17 | 0:52:20 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:52:20 | 0:52:24 | |
How lovely to see you! | 0:52:24 | 0:52:27 | |
You look delightful. | 0:52:27 | 0:52:29 | |
Oh, so do you! | 0:52:29 | 0:52:30 | |
Thank you! Fantastic! Thank you. | 0:52:34 | 0:52:37 | |
I'm so pleased you are here because you're such a lovely guy. | 0:52:37 | 0:52:41 | |
So, Hugh, this year you've performed in Miss Saigon, I think, | 0:52:44 | 0:52:48 | |
and you've just finished a run as the lead in Sweeney Todd. | 0:52:48 | 0:52:52 | |
What part did Jane play in your success? | 0:52:52 | 0:52:55 | |
I think...the author, the director... | 0:52:55 | 0:52:58 | |
..producer. | 0:53:00 | 0:53:01 | |
Truly for me, I was, I'm sure, a bit of a devil. | 0:53:02 | 0:53:07 | |
You were a bit of a devil, yes! | 0:53:07 | 0:53:08 | |
Growing up, and I was raised in the care system, | 0:53:08 | 0:53:11 | |
so I was perhaps not as focused as I am now. | 0:53:11 | 0:53:15 | |
And having Mrs English - I daren't call her by her first name - | 0:53:15 | 0:53:22 | |
was one of the few people, | 0:53:22 | 0:53:24 | |
one of the key people that had that extra time to give to me, | 0:53:24 | 0:53:29 | |
to listen and to point me in the right direction | 0:53:29 | 0:53:34 | |
when I was many times going in the wrong. | 0:53:34 | 0:53:36 | |
You're obviously very proud of each other, | 0:53:36 | 0:53:38 | |
-which is absolutely delightful to see. -I'm very proud of him. | 0:53:38 | 0:53:40 | |

Well, bring on the choir. | 0:53:49 | 0:53:51 | |
The stage is yours. | 0:53:51 | 0:53:53 | |
# The higher you build your barriers | 0:54:06 | 0:54:10 | |
# The taller I become | 0:54:12 | 0:54:15 | |
# The further you take my rights away | 0:54:18 | 0:54:22 | |
# The faster I will run | 0:54:23 | 0:54:26 | |
# Deny my place in time | 0:54:28 | 0:54:31 | |
# You squander wealth that's mine | 0:54:31 | 0:54:34 | |
# My light will shine | 0:54:34 | 0:54:37 | |
# So brightly it will blind you | 0:54:37 | 0:54:41 | |
# Because there's | 0:54:41 | 0:54:43 | |
# Something inside so strong | 0:54:43 | 0:54:45 | |
# I know that I can make it | 0:54:47 | 0:54:50 | |
# Though you're doing me wrong, so wrong | 0:54:51 | 0:54:54 | |
# You thought that my pride was gone | 0:54:54 | 0:54:57 | |
# Oh, no | 0:54:57 | 0:54:59 | |
# There's something inside so strong | 0:54:59 | 0:55:03 | |
# Oh oh-oh-oh-oh-oh | 0:55:03 | 0:55:05 | |
# Something inside so strong | 0:55:05 | 0:55:08 | |
# Brothers and sisters | 0:55:11 | 0:55:14 | |
# When they insist we're just not good enough | 0:55:14 | 0:55:17 | |
# Well, we know better | 0:55:22 | 0:55:25 | |
# Just look him in his eyes and say | 0:55:25 | 0:55:28 | |
# We're gonna do it anyway | 0:55:28 | 0:55:31 | |
# We're gonna do it anyway | 0:55:31 | 0:55:34 | |
# We're gonna do it anyway | 0:55:34 | 0:55:37 | |
# We're gonna do it anyway | 0:55:37 | 0:55:42 | |
# Something inside so strong | 0:55:42 | 0:55:47 | |
# I know that I can make it | 0:55:47 | 0:55:50 | |
# Though you're doing me wrong, so wrong | 0:55:50 | 0:55:54 | |
# You thought that my pride was gone | 0:55:54 | 0:55:57 | |
# Oh, no, oh, no | 0:55:57 | 0:55:59 | |
# Something inside so strong | 0:55:59 | 0:56:03 | |
# Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh | 0:56:03 | 0:56:04 | |
# Something inside so strong. # | 0:56:04 | 0:56:11 | |
