Let’s give a massive round of applause to Becky Jackson, the brilliant Head Teacher of Cragside Primary School! Becky has just been awarded the prestigious Inspirational Educator Award by the Educators’ Trust, and we couldn’t be more delighted.

This isn’t just any award. It’s a recognition of true dedication, innovation, and a genuine passion for shaping the future of our youngest learners. Becky’s unwavering commitment to Early Years Education (3-11 year olds) has earned her this incredible accolade, placing her amongst the very best educators in the country.

Becky was nominated by Jenna Crittenden, Curriculum Design Lead at the Chartered College of Teaching, for her dedication and impact in shaping early childhood education. 

The judges at the Educators’ Trust, a panel of experts dedicated to celebrating excellence in education, were certainly impressed by Becky’s dedication. One of the judges described Becky as: “A highly respected and active innovator whose work will have lasting impact on the schools and the children she reaches.”

A well-deserved celebration in London!

Becky will be officially presented with her award at a special ceremony in London during the Easter holidays. We know she’ll be representing Cragside Primary and our entire community with pride!

Chris Zarraga, Director of Schools North East, said: “Huge congratulations to Becky! This award is a testament to her hard work, dedication, and the incredible impact she has on the lives of our region’s school children. 

“It’s a reminder of the power of passionate educators to transform lives and inspire future generations.”

So, let’s join together in celebrating Becky Jackson, a true inspiration and a shining star in the world of education! Congratulations, Becky! You’ve made us all incredibly proud.
