THE Dorset Echo School Awards in association with ASM and sponsored by Kingston Maurward College, Weymouth College, Wessex Fertility and the Plaza Dorchester were created to recognise and honour the important work done by teachers and support workers such as TAs and School Crossing Staff.
The nominations were made by our readers for staff working in schools in the DT postcode sector and following a really difficult judging we are delighted to announce the finalists.
The finalists will all be invited to join the sponsors at a Bollywood-themed celebration event at Weymouth College in this month where the winners will be announced.
