School business managers are eligible for one of the accolades in the Sussex Teacher of the Year awards.

Crawley accountancy firm Kreston Reeves is backing the awards.

Simon Webber, a partner at Kreston Reeves, said: “We are really happy to be able to support the Teacher of the Year Awards for a second year in a row.

“Working with school business managers, we recognise that they are often an ‘unsung hero’ of a school.

“And with increasing financial pressures in schools they are going to become even more critical in ensuring schools in our counties continue to deliver the best outcomes for pupils.”

The awards are organised by educational charity Inspire Schools and recognise school staff’s expertise, dedication and vital contribution to the community.

There are categories for newly qualified and primary and secondary school teachers, as well as non-teaching staff and volunteers.

Anyone who does paid or unpaid work in a school can be nominated, and anyone can nominate them.
