AN Asian school teacher from Harrow was honoured at the TES Awards 2024 last week, a statement said.
Neetu Sadhwani won the Subject Lead of the Year (secondary) award at the event dubbed the ‘Oscars of Education’ held in London last Friday (21).
She is head of faculty of Modern Foreign Languages at Avanti House Secondary School and Harrow Collegiate subject lead.
According to the statement, the Hindu faith school has also been shortlisted for an award of £39,000 at the World's Best Schools Prize.
Sadhwani, who has taught at Avanti House Secondary School since 2015, was chosen out of a national field of educators across both the state and independent sectors.
"Special thanks to my family for their unwavering support and belief in me. This award celebrates the transformative power of education and the magic of believing in your dreams.”
Based in Stanmore, Avanti House Secondary School is part of the multi-academy Avanti Schools Trust.
Simon Arnell, principal at Avanti House Secondary School, said, “Sadhwani has ensured that students who study French and Spanish at Avanti House Secondary School receive outstanding learning and teaching every single day in Modern Foreign Languages. All students enjoy a range of immersive activities to ensure they reflect and engage upon the cultural richness that studying a language brings to the lives of students."
The event was hosted by Kalpesh Solanki, Group Managing Editor of Asian Media Group and President of the 100 Club.
