In its fifth year, the NAPCE Awards ‘National Awards for Pastoral Care in Education’ is a leading event on the education calendar and nominees are selected in eight categories by an independent panel of expert judges. Moneynick Primary School was a nominated finalist in the Pastoral Development of the Year Award.
NAPCE National Chair Phil Jones announced that the standard of entries was “outstanding” and all nominees should be “incredibly proud” of their work.
The NAPCE Awards is the first UK-wide scheme to recognise outstanding achievements across pastoral care in education settings.
It exists to shine a light on excellent practice in pastoral care and to celebrate the people making a real difference in the educational experience of young people.
It also encourages new initiatives and ideas in pastoral care and recognises the contributions being made to developing policy and practice in pastoral support.
Mr Jones said, “Once again we received a record number of entries this year, smashing the previous high and it’s testament to the exciting way the Awards continues to grow and grow. Standards were extremely high this year and I’m told judging was not easy, with so many high class entries to consider. And I would like to offer huge congratulations to all who made the finals, with such a large number of nominations of the highest standard it’s a big achievement in itself.”
Mrs McConway flew to Birmingham on behalf of the pupils, staff and parents of Moneynick Primary School to be presented with a certificate in Pastoral Care. It is both a privilege and honour to be the principal of such an inspirational and forward thinking school community.
