The dedicated work of committed colleagues from schools within Nene Education Trust has been recognised at a special awards ceremony in Northamptonshire.
The recipients were presented with an array of accolades at the Long Service Awards to celebrate their collective service, spanning more than 350 years.
Special certificates and trophies were presented to the triumphant team members, who have dedicated their careers to supporting thousands of children throughout their years of service. All the recipients have worked within the Trust’s network of schools in the county for 20, 25, 35 and 37 years.
Their momentous milestones were marked at the ceremony, hosted by the Trust leadership team, with personal presentations by CEO, Chris Hill, and principals from participating schools.
The award recipients have held various roles within the Trust’s network of schools including Manor School, Windmill Primary School, Raunds Park Infant School and Redwell Primary School.
The inaugural Long Service Awards, which were held at Nene Education Trust’s headquarters in Irthlingborough, highlighted the incredible work and decades of dedication by its longest serving staff members. Collectively, those being recognised have accumulated a total of 362 years of shared service within the education sector.
Chris Hill said:
“What a huge honour to be involved in these Long Service Awards recognising the contributions of staff that have dedicated 20 years, 25 years and more than 35 years to the children of the schools in our Trust. Congratulations to all that received an award.”
