The Leader Award recognises staff who go above and beyond to support and inspire young people. Students were invited to vote for the member of staff they felt truly deserved recognition for their dedication and hard work.

This award is particularly special as it reflects the voices of our students, and the genuine impact Mrs Jacob has on their daily school experience.

Students described her as:

• “A caring and supportive teacher.”
• “She understands everyone.”
• “She is positive and always helps us.”
• “She helped me pass my English AP.”
• “She is so patient and understanding – she listens and will always help.”
• “Lessons are fun and enjoyable with Mrs Jacob.”

These comments highlight the warmth, commitment and encouragement Mrs Jacob brings to her classroom every day. Her ability to build strong relationships, inspire confidence and make learning engaging truly embodies the values of our academy.

We would like to extend our sincere congratulations to Mrs Jacob on this well-deserved achievement and thank her for the positive difference she continues to make to the lives of our students.
