HEROES BEHIND THE CROWN 2024

Dukes Heroes Behind the Crown Awards

Like every successful organisation, Dukes Education has teams of dedicated people working behind the scenes; these are the people out of the limelight, the ones that work diligently, quietly and with humility, sometimes without the sight of wider recognition.

For the Dukes Annual Awards in January, we invited nominations in 14 different categories and had over 500 nominations in each. It is clear, that as well as the finalists and winners, there are many unsung heroes across the Dukes family that colleagues want to recognise and thank.

“I am immensely thankful for the positive impact they have on colleagues, parents and children throughout the Dukes Family.”

As Dukes grows, so have our Heroes Behind the Crown Awards. We now recognise extraordinary people in the UK and Europe; the ones who always go the extra mile, who clean up when everyone else has gone home, who notice the shy child on their own and make them laugh, the ones who keep schools open in freezing weather, or serve fresh, tasty food day in day out.

The four Dukes values remind us why we do what we do every day: We lead with Heart, We love learning, We are a team, We do it well. Our Heroes Behind the Crown are the embodiment of these values and I am immensely thankful for the positive impact they have on colleagues, parents and children throughout the Dukes family.

They say an army marches on its stomach, and so does a school! Good food, well prepared and served with care makes a huge impact on the happiness of a school community.

INSPIRATIONAL TEACHING

Can you remember an inspirational teacher from your school days? The one who encouraged, challenged and energised the class, taking an everyday lesson to new heights and introducing a different way of looking at the world. This award recognises the lifelong influence such a teacher can have and how the very best teaching goes beyond imparting knowledge to inspiring change and acquiring understanding.

Georgie Barstow

Lucy Beecham

Dance Teacher, The Pointer School

“Pointers was founded as a dance school and so a year ago, we asked a long-standing TA to return to her roots as a dance teacher. After a very successful trial, Lucy now teaches dance to all pupils in the school and in a short time she has transformed the way our children look at dance. Shy children have blossomed - one pupil who speaks very little English even took centre stage at the school’s first ever dance showcase for a solo part. She is doing magnificent work and has now set up a competitive dance squad. I’m very excited to see the direction dance at Pointers goes in the future! Our “peripetitic” teachers tend to get overloooked when it comes to thank yous from parents, but she is superb and truly is an unsung hero.”

Chrisi Brierley

“Chrisi has been with the college for just over two years and has transformed the students’ perception of themselves with her pure levels of motivation. I sit at the back of the room in awe of the connection and inclusive nature of her lessons. She prepares all her lessons with students at the centre and ensures that they not only learn new aspects of the course, but are transported to a place where learning is fun. Her inspirational methods show the way forward for our young teachers.

He has the ability to make everyone want to join in, even reluctant Year 8s in assembly. His passion is contagious and has ensured that engagement, enthusiasm and excellence are the norm in his lessons. As a new Head I have been blown away by his energy and can do attitude. I can’t wait for the Christmas Flash mobs!”

Kris Harvey

Year 3 Class Teacher and Head of Computing, Eaton Square Prep

“Kris has been part of the Eaton Square teaching team for over 20 years, but her energy and drive are as strong as ever. As Head of Computing, she’s always looking for new ways to enrich the curriculum, embracing our new STEAM room, designing engaging content for the LU wall, and inspiring colleagues to explore innovative teaching methods. Her dedication to staying at the forefront of education, especially in the field of AI, is remarkable. Kris’s passion for learning and growth brings fresh ideas and momentum to everything she does. We’re incredibly lucky to have her, and I’m truly grateful for the impact she continues to make at Eaton Square Prep.”

Charlotte Saber

Teacher / Tutor / Admissions Manager, St Andrew’s College Cambridge

“Charlotte is an exceptional member of staff and concludes all of her roles with passion, commitment and empathy. However where she excels is in the classroom: she puts such a huge amount of time and effort into every lesson and her students take this and thrive. They know that an hour with her is not a lesson but a journey through the fantasies of Geography. The smiles on their faces in her lessons speak volumes. Nothing is ever too much trouble. She gives extra lessons at exam times and beyond and has such a rapport with her students that they hate to leave.”

Lizzie Salisbury

Head of Science, Eaton House The Manor

“An incredibly passionate and enthusiastic science teacher, who goes above and beyond every lesson.”

LOOKING AFTER OUR SCHOOLS

Schools come in all shapes and sizes and with the demands placed on buildings by busy children, keeping them safe and sound takes a lot of work.

These are the people that can turn their hand to any job and keep our settings in excellent condition, ready for anything.

Ysabel’s kind and understanding approach to children, along with her care and attention to detail regarding dietary needs and allergies, sets her apart. She is also one of the longest-serving members of staff in the school, and we couldn’t do what we do without her invaluable contribution.

Facilities

Manager, St Andrew’s College Cambridge

“Marius started at the college over 10 years ago as an hourly paid maintenance man. Since then, his dedication and work ethic have set a standard of excellence. He now leads a team of four, maintaining 14 buildings, and nothing is ever too much trouble, ‘no’ simply isn’t in his vocabulary. He and his wife also look after one of our boarding houses, and his passion for the college has even brought 16 family members into our community. Marius leads by example and has played a key role in shaping the college we are today. I’m immensely proud of him, he is our unsung hero and truly deserves this recognition.”

Rosen Ploskov

Facilities Assistant, The Pointers School

“Rosen has been at the school for longer than I have!! He started as a cleaner at the school, and always used to take the time to chat to me as he did his rounds when I was a Newly Qualified Teacher working late.

Thank you, Yiannis, for being such an integral part of our school community.”

SUPPORTING STUDENTS

Staff supporting children in the classroom are at the very front line of a school. Teaching and learning support assistants fulfil a role that is so special in a classroom; through their care, warmth and support they nurture children to achieve their best. A quiet word of encouragement, a special smile or time to listen can make all the difference to a reluctant reader, a new joiner to the class or a child struggling with a friendship.

Ana Fernandes

“A positive force for good.”

Emma Guild

Assistant Head of Learning Support, Radnor House Twickenham

“Emma cares so much about the SEND pupils at the school. She goes above and beyond to ensure they feel supported. I think the biggest strength is she always takes the time to ensure she sees things from their point of view. Her knowledge on how young people with SEND needs see the world is impressive and she uses this to ensure every child in her care feels supported and has the best learning environment in school.”

Nomeda Knox

Year 1 Teaching Assistant, The Lyceum

She is a one in a million teacher and is a true Lyceum unicorn.”

Amanda O’Connor

Learning Support Assistant - Dyslexia Specialist, Eaton Square Prep

“Amanda is one of the most skilled practitioners I have ever worked with, and I always feel reassured when one of our dyslexic children is placed under her care. The level of thought and dedication she puts into her lesson planning is extraordinary, and the progress her children make is a testament to her hard work. Amanda is quiet and just gets on with things. She provides outstanding support to every child she works with, never seeking recognition for the care she puts into each lesson. Despite facing personal struggles this year, Amanda’s professionalism has never faltered, and her dedication to the children has remained consistent. Amanda is our unsung hero, always working quietly behind the scenes but making an enormous impact on the lives of our children. She really deserves this recognition for all she does to support and uplift our children.”

Teaching Assistant, Orchard House School

Sabine Rogers

Learning Support Assistant, The Pointer School

“Sabine is one of our learning support assistants, who works with our older children. Children flourish in her lessons, and those who would normally say “I can’t” in the classroom suddenly develop a “can do” attitude. As she works with older children she also deals with all the turbulence that comes with early adolescence, and manages to unravel even the most knotty social situations, all in the middle of a maths intervention.”

Francesca Spagnioli

AEN Department, Knightsbridge School

“Incredible - kind, patient, loving - incredible lady.”

Warren Willenberg

Houseparent, Rochester Independent College

“Former history teacher Warren is one of our wonderful houseparents whose calm and reassuring manner helps welcome and settle many of our students at RIC. Warren is often seen around campus with the RIC top dog Oscar who lives with him on site.”

THE ENGINE ROOM

Administration is the backbone of a school; not only managing information about pupils’ academic achievement and progress, but running HR, record keeping, IT, health and safety and compliance. Often unseen by pupils and parents, the staff members in the administration ‘engine room’ keep schools running safely and securely making sure that systems and processes are nimble, accurate and able to move with the times.

We truly appreciate his hard work and dedication!”

She is also heavily involved in the IT project. She is a phenomenal worker and a critical part of the management team. Absolutely deserving of this award. With the IT summer project she worked 7 days a week. She is one of the unsung heroes of IOE and I would love to recognise her contribution.”

Peter is the college’s go to fixer and project manager and makes the RIC engine hum smoothly.”

Emma Jeeps

Rhonda Qually

Head of Admissions and Marketing, Notting Hill Prep

“Rhonda’s joie de vivre is infectious and she loves her job, which rubs off on all around her. She has an innate ability to inspire confidence and trust in prospective parents and her eye for detail ensures that they feel known, loved and wanted from the first point of contact. She jumped at the chance of adding marketing to her role whilst a colleague is on maternity leave and has continued to show the same level of endless energy for all this role involves. She is creative and willing to give anything a go. She is also a brilliant human being whose positivity has an amazing impact on others. Half an hour with Rhonda is better than a holiday as you leave her company with sore sides from laughing and feeling that the world is a brilliant place to be.”

Max Pitkin

Senior IT Technician, Radnor House Twickenham

“Max is great. The school would struggle to run without him. He is always on hand to address any issue, he is calm and proactive in ensuring excellent IT provision and strategic planning.”

She embodies collaboration, creativity, and care, and her impact on Eaton Square Prep has been significant.”

Mark Taylor

Bursar, St Andrew’s College Cambridge

“Mark has been with the college for just under three years. He had never worked in education before but took the job in both hands and has become an integral member of the college’s SLT. He is the only finance person in college so for him holidays and time off do not really exist because the payroll needs to be completed or the month end needs to be sent in or invoices need to be paid. He is passionate about his work and nothing is ever too much trouble. He does however know when to say no and this ensures we are all kept on our toes. The college is a better place for his insights and because of him.”

Rachida Zahouani

Head of Admissions, Radnor House Prep

“The school wouldn’t exist without her! In addition to filling the places and overseeing the marketing she also runs the school uniform shop, is the school nurse and looks after lost property. All with a smile on her face and a wonderful team spirit which keeps us all going.”

Everything is less stressful when she is on board - bonus is that Becky gets the job done in a timely manner!!” and “No task is too much for Becky, she goes out of her way to help everyone and always does it with a smile on her face. She is a kind, caring and an approachable colleague who anyone would be lucky to work with.”
