Charlotte Heaume from the school said: "We are delighted to be nominated for this prestigious award and are gratified to feel that we can make a real difference to our pupils.

"This is a recognition of many staffs' hard work and dedicated approach.These unprecedented times are worrying for all pupils and especially those with additional mental health needs.

"One size does not fit all and at Bowbrook is a unique school: we truly believe in an individual approach. Not all schools are the same and we pride ourselves on being small enough to care for each of our pupils, whilst providing the challenges all pupils need to realise their potential."

At last year’s awards, Kay Barrett, retired secretary from the school said she ‘felt like a movie star’ after being crowned Support Staff of the Year winner.

Mrs Barrett retired in July last year after being at the school in Peopleton, near Pershore for 11 years. She was nominated four times for an award.

Bowbrook House School bagged the Secondary School of the Year Award in 2017.

The education awards ceremony was originally scheduled for June 25, however has now been confirmed to take place on October 21 at University Arena in Worcester.
