Peterborough Telegraph's annual awards honouring local education professionals and pupils.

2011 awards

The annual ceremony gives readers the chance to pay tribute to the dedicated staff involved in all aspects of education across the city and surrounding area, as well as pupils who have excelled themselves or exceeded expectations.

Editor Mark Edwards said: "All too often, the hard work of those at schools and the achievements of pupils themselves are overlooked, and this is an opportunity to recognise those who deserve our praise.

"It is fantastic to be able to celebrate the work and accomplishments of all members of a school community."
