Kira Redmond, a teacher at St Peter’s CE Primary School in Farnworth, has been awarded Teacher of the Year.
The award, sponsored by CER Education, recognizes a teacher who brings learning to life by engaging and inspiring young people to realize their potential through their tireless effort, dedication and passion.
A parent from St Peter’s CE Primary School nominated her for the award.
Mrs Redmond is known for touching the lives of many children, but in particular a boy who was afraid to go to school until he moved to school and was placed in Kira’s class. .
