JUDGES SO FAR:-
Mrs K-S of "The Learning Post", Waltham Chase:- I am a consultant teacher, Key Stage and English Leader currently running an online zoom tutoring service for years 1-4. I set up the Learning Post at the start of lockdown to provide free learning resources for local children to collect, and launched the little library for children to borrow books for KS1, KS2 and KS3 reading. I produced VE day planning and resources for Fareham Borough Council which was downloaded 5,000 times and used to teach in at least nine schools across Hampshire. I am getting ready to return to the Federation of Bursledon infant and junior schools where I am teaching year 1 and year 6 in September.
