Three secondary school professionals are among this year’s Teaching Award winners. Lorraine Stobie, the headteacher of an all-age special school, teaching assistant David Bonnington, and new teacher Dr Elizabeth Bailey were honoured at the national finals in London earlier last month.

The Teaching Awards are now supported by Pearson and a total of eight Plato trophies were handed out at the ceremony, which was broadcast on the BBC.

Ms Stobie’s award provided the climax to the celebrations as she was named this year’s winner of the Ted Wragg Award for Lifetime Achievement.

Ms Stobie, 56, has enjoyed a 35-year career in her hometown of Ayr in Scotland and is currently the headteacher of Southcraig Campus, a special school catering for around 80 pupils aged two to 19.
