She was nominated by her pupils Holly and Alexander at Aspull Church Primary School who said: “She makes us feel special by just being her; she inspires us to have a ‘can do’ attitude. She is a very understanding and respectful person; she is a great role model and always listens to what we have to say.”

An emotional Miss Chadwick said: “It’s the best job to be in and as much an honour to teach at the school as to receive this award.”
