Hertfordshire MFL teacher wins Guardian Secondary Teacher of the Year
Award
Congratulations
to Mike Ullmann, Head of the Languages College at Hockerill Anglo-European
College in Bishop’s Stortford, who has won the prestigious Guardian
award for teacher of the year in a secondary school.
Mike has been an outstanding influence on his school for the last 15
years, during which time he has transformed the approach and practice
of teaching languages.
His unprecedented approach to teaching languages has made Hockerill
Anglo European College a model for bilingual education throughout the
UK. Pupils are taught history and geography in French and German to develop
their language skills. Hockerill is now extending it to maths and science.
John Harris, director of CSF, said “Congratulations
to Mike. Our teachers rarely find themselves in the spotlight like this
- being recognised for the hard work and commitment they give to pupils,
schools and local communities. It is a real achievement and well deserved.”
Mike will be presenting to secondary colleagues at Hertfordshire Development
Centre on 25th April as part of the launch of a new MFL training programme
for secondary MFL teachers.
