Listed below are the Mentors working in our Partnership and the categories they have been recognised for.
A very BIG thank you and CONGRATULATIONS to you all!
Approachability Award
A mentor who is welcoming right from the start and always finds the time no matter how busy to talk with the student, whether that's in a mentor meeting, via a WhatsApp chat or for a cuppa in the staffroom!

The Top Role Model Award
A mentor who is not only a fantastic subject/class teacher, but also acts as a role model across the whole school for pupils, other staff and student teachers alike! They consistently go above and beyond what is asked of them.

Research-Informed Mentor Award
One who reads and explores extensively in relation to teaching and learning and critically engages with this reading. One who encourages a similar attitude in their student teacher in order to be able to explain their rationale to an
approach to teaching. Never satisfied with “good enough” but always seeking to inspire their student teacher to “find a better way” for their pupils to learn. A mentor who always want to know “why”.
Tom Millard - Dover Girls Grammar School
Innovation in Mentoring Award
A mentor who is always willing to push the boundaries when it comes to developing the professional practice of their student teacher. Whether going behind the camera and using IRIS before deconstructing the findings with the student teacher or role-playing likely scenarios and reflecting on finding, this mentor will let nothing get in the way of student teacher progress.
Jennifer Lee Roberts - Dover Christ Church Academy
April Cribben - Goodwin Academy
Team of the Year Award
A school which encompasses the vision of the partnership. A school where ITE is valued across the whole school and mentoring is at the heart of practice. Senior staff support the work of ITE and get involved in the wider aspects of Partnership.
We are especially pleased that the 3 schools nominated in this category are all from the Dover Deal and Sandwich Partnership 2020-21.
