The STEMNET Awards, held at the House of Lords last week, celebrate organisations and individuals who inspire youngsters to develop STEM skills and encourage them to explore career options.
Anthony Vaughan-Evans, head of maths at Benjamin Britten School in Suffolk, won the award for most dedicated STEM teacher.
As well as changing the way key stage 3 maths is taught at his school and linking the subject to real-life situations, he organises visits to local employers and works with them to run STEM competitions for pupils.
He said: “As a school we are passionate that STEM subjects are taught in context. Our students have had more positive individual outcomes, and results have improved. We have had a lot of support from our county maths advisor and it is fantastic that what we have been doing in Suffolk has been recognised nationally.”
