Moray & Banffshire Heroes 2025: Nominate your secondary school teachers
Secondary school teachers have a big influence on our youngsters' development helping them prepare for adulthood and life outside school.
Moray & Banffshire Heroes 2025 recognises the important contribution they make with the award for secondary school teacher of the year.
NOMINATE your Moray & Banffshire Heroes by midnight, Sunday February 2, 2025.
The secondary school teacher of the year will be someone who has made a significant difference, beyond the normal expectations, to the learning experience of their pupils or found innovative ways to teach that helps pupils enjoy it and be successful.
The award for secondary school teacher of the year is sponsored by Barratt and David Wilson Homes North Scotland.
Kevin Urquhart, construction director for Barratt and David Wilson Homes North Scotland, said: “As the UK’s leading sustainable housebuilder, we are always incredibly proud to support the future generation’s success. We are supporting the secondary school teacher category for the second year in a row to highlight the incredible work carried out each day by teachers in Moray and Banffshire.
“It is their inspiration that drives confidence in young professionals onto their next stage of skills development, higher education or their first steps into a new career. With the skills and knowledge supplied by those dedicated to secondary education, we can see the positive impact this has on our very own new homes business and wider industry.
“This year we continue to grow the industry, particularly with an interest in the north of Scotland, with the employment of more trade apprentices in the area to strengthen our site teams, as well as growing our graduate, office and site management teams who continually win Pride in the Job awards year after year – none of which would be achieved without the commitment and pride of teachers in the first stage of building young adults’ career prospects.
“We saw last time the incredible amount of extracurricular efforts that secondary teachers put in to support young adults in Moray and the surrounding Banff area, and so we’re delighted to support the Moray & Banffshire Heroes again. We strongly encourage readers to nominate their local Heroes so we can raise awareness of those who are truly deserving of such recognition.”
