Camden headteacher achieves national award
A headteacher from Camden has obtained a Pearson National Teaching Award.
The Pearson teaching awards have been going for more than two decades. Camden’s Bavaani Nanthabalan won recognition for her leadership within a primary school. Letterheads can be useful for a range of organisations, particularly when a prestigious award can be celebrated.
Nanthabalan’s Gold Award was mentioned on The One Show. The BBC presenter Alex Jones explained how positive it was to have the headteacher on the programme. Jones reminded the audience how valuable excellent schools can be. She added:
Gold Award recipients emerged from a process in which several thousand nominations were made. Nanthalaban’s efforts at Netley Primary School and Centre for Autism had attracted attention. She had ensured that vulnerable pupils were able to attend a primary careers event. This move gave the children an insight into the kind of options they might have when they are more mature.
Nanthabalan has worked in education for over 40 years. The vast majority of her professional life has taken place in Camden. She stated that the borough has prioritised equality. For her, education does not simply happen in school as she engages with the local community.
