We are delighted that Mr Hall has not only been nominated, but shortlisted as one of three finalists in the Nursery/Primary Teacher of the year category of the Daily Echo School Awards nominees 2017.

The Echo published the following:

Alistair is a Year 2 teacher at St Mark’s Church of England primary school in Bournemouth. He was nominated by Lydia Harris. “My daughter asked me to nominate Mr Hall. Her enthusiasm to do this is testament to the passion, care and inspiration that she sees from him every day. She was not very confident when she started but Mr Hall turned that around immediately.

“He has a great relationship with all the children. He makes sure they are supported in any way they require. He keeps parents up to date with progress too, and spends a lot of time doing so. This helps me support my daughter.”

Update 20 March:

It wasn't to be for Mr Hall, being pipped to the award by a teacher from another Trust school. However, he is still a winner in our eyes and we are very proud that he was nominated and shortlisted! Well done Mr Hall - Keep up the brilliant work.
