The Hampshire Education Awards recognise and celebrate the contribution of staff and volunteers within the county's education system, for the real difference their work makes to the life opportunities of children and young people. We have been so proud to have had 3 members of the Early Years team here at Leesland be awarded one of these prestigious awards.

Teaching Support Award 2019

Natalie Davies - Specialist Learning and Behaviour Support Assistant

"Natalie goes above and beyond to help overcome challenges and meet her children's complex needs."

Laying the Foundations Award 2021

Annie Rendall - Assistant Headteacher and Early Year's Lead

“Annie has transformed Early Years provision, creating a wonderful, secure, and nurturing environment. She has led on online learning and trained a number of staff both in Early Years and in other key stages – essential due to the number of children moving into Year 1 who had not been in school since the start of lockdown.”

Sarah Warrington - Year R Teaching Assistant and Practitioner 

"Sarah is a Teaching Assistant within Early Years; described as hardworking and dedicated, she never misses an opportunity to support the children, enhance their learning or challenge their thinking."
