TA of the year

A teaching assistant who inspired pupils to become interested in environmental issues has scooped a Teaching Award.

Anne Hegarty, of St Brigid’s Primary School, Magherafelt, Northern Ireland, won Teaching Assistant of the Year at the Teaching Awards 2007.

The annual awards celebrate excellence in teaching.

Ms Hegarty helped secure funding for a school sensory garden as well as running a number of special interest clubs for pupils.

"It is hard to describe just how important she is in the life of this school,” the judges said of her. “Anne is the heartbeat, the pulse and the brains."
