“I feel incredibly honoured to even have been put forward for the award. Thank you to Suzie Longstaff for providing me with opportunities that drive and motivate me to be a better teacher every day.  I feel so lucky to work at such an incredible school and receiving silver isn’t just for me, but for the amazing teaching that happens every day across Putney as a whole. My love for my job comes from the amazing girls that I teach – they make me laugh every day, give me energy, never fail to surprise me and always go above and beyond in whatever I ask of them. It is because of them that I can call my job, the best in the world”. Miss Wadey.

The Teaching Awards were set up by Lord David Puttnam in 1998 to celebrate and recognise excellence in education.

Putney’s awards were presented by the Mayor of Wandsworth, Councillor Jane Cooper and James Healey of Pearson, on “Thank a Teacher Day” at the Senior School Sports Day at Wimbledon Park Athletics Track.

Many congratulations Miss Wadey and indeed to all of the fantastic teachers at Putney High School.
