A good school or a great teacher can set a child up for life. We’re lucky in York in having plenty of both.

But neither outstanding teachers not outstanding schools really get the recognition they so richly deserve.

Our annual Community Pride Awards are a chance to change that.

So if you know of an inspirational teacher or a wonderful school that you feel deserves to be better recognised, why not get your nomination in today?

It would be the perfect way to say thank you for giving your child a great start in life.
