Ellisons Solicitors is delighted to sponsor the 2025 Essex Teaching Awards, celebrating the dedication, passion and excellence of those working within the education sector across Essex.
Organised by Essex County Council, the annual awards recognise the outstanding contributions of early years and childcare practitioners, teachers, and school staff who make a lasting impact on young people’s lives.
Nicola Weldon, Head of Private Client at Ellisons Solicitors, said: “At Ellisons, we are committed to supporting our community, and education is at the heart of that. Teachers and school staff play a vital role in shaping futures and we are proud to sponsor the Essex Teaching Awards to recognise their incredible work. As part of our long-standing commitment to key workers, we offer discounted legal services to those working in education via the Blue Light Card scheme, including Family and Divorce, Residential Conveyancing, and Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney.”
Representatives at Essex County Council have said "These awards wouldn't be possible without our incredible sponsors. Ellisons Solicitors have sponsored the 2025 event, in order to celebrate excellence in education and support their community."
Councillor Tony Ball, Cabinet Member for Education Excellence, Lifelong Learning and Employability, added: “The Essex Teaching Awards give us the opportunity to ensure those individuals get the recognition they deserve, allowing us to not only identify and celebrate them, but also share best practice across the wider education sector.
“I would encourage everyone to think about the excellent contributions made by staff and nominate anyone you feel is deserving of an award.”
Nominations are open until Friday 25 April 2025 and anyone can nominate an individual or team working or volunteering in an educational setting within the Essex local authority area.
The awards ceremony will take place on 'National Thank a Teacher Day' Wednesday 18 June 2025, bringing together over 200 attendees to celebrate Essex’s outstanding educators.
