Twelve inspirational teachers have been honoured for their work in encouraging and supporting their pupils to win places at Oxford University.
The teachers were nominated for their awards by the students they inspired. The youngsters all attended state schools and colleges with a limited history and tradition of sending pupils to Oxford – and they are now first-year undergraduates at the university.
Nupur Patel, for instance, was inspired to study history and French at Lincoln College, Oxford, by Andy Hull, head of the 6th form at Swakeleys School in Hillingdon, west London.
“I feel very privileged to say he was my teacher,” said Nupur. “He taught me one of the most important lessons in life – to always strive to achieve my ambitions and not let anything stop me from doing so.”
