I was recently invited by the Education Minister, Damian Hinds MP, to nominate a Northampton-based teacher to attend a Community Education Champions reception at Number 10 Downing Street.
I nominated the Assistant Headteacher of Northampton School for Boys (NSB), Sarah Bradley-Brophy.
NSB has long been a centre of educational excellence, and the school has recently opened a sister institution - called Northampton School.
I relish the opportunity to highlight Northampton educators who make an excellent contribution to the lives of children.
