Bedford primary school teacher shortlisted for major award

Cauldwell Primary School’s Judith Apps has been shortlisted for a prestigious national Headteacher of the Year award.

Judith - who has been head at the school for 22 years – was selected by judges of the Tes Schools Awards.

The judges included school leaders, inspectors and education researchers.

It comes after Ofsted inspectors gave Cauldwell Primary School – which is part of HEART Academies Trust – a glowing report in January.

Judith said: “I am honoured to have been put forward for the Headteacher of the Year Award, but recognise that I can only do this job with the support and guidance of a fantastic team around me both in school and at Heart Academies Trust.”

The awards winners will be announced on June 17 at a gala ceremony in London’s Grosvenor Park Hotel.
