NOMINATIONS are coming in from across the region for our education awards.

Following the success of last year’s inaugural event, our 2018 celebration has been launched.

Now under the title of South Wales Argus Schools & Education Awards 2018, the event is once again being held in partnership with the University of South Wales.

We aim to recognise the extraordinary commitment and dedication that so many staff bring to education every day, be they teachers, further education lecturers, head teachers, teaching assistants or university lecturers.

This year there are 15 award categories in the awards and they are open to people working within the Gwent area of Monmouthshire, Torfaen, Blaenau Gwent, Newport and Caerphilly.

You can send nominations by filling in a form for free on our website until 5pm, January 12.
