Staff recognised with awards

The work of Operations and Teaching Support Staff at the Stamford Endowed Schools have been recognised through Commendations and Long Service Recognition Awards.Eighteen members of Operations, Teaching Support and Professional Services staff received Commendation Awards, which were presented in individual socially distanced ceremonies in December 2020.In addition to the current 25 year 'long-service' awards, the Schools have given additional recognition to Operations and Teaching Support Staff reaching 10, 15 and 20 years' service, on a termly basis. Eight members of staff received 10 years' service awards, 4 received 15 year service awards and one member of staff received their 20 years' service award.All ceremonies followed the Covid-19 regulations that were in place at the time.Head of Human Resources, Ms K Rainsby, said: "We have been running the Commendation Awards for over 3 years now and every time I am blown away by just how much such a simple gesture of recognition means to each member of staff who receives an award."It’s not about the certificate or the event itself, it’s about the words and hearing that their contribution is noticed and appreciated.  To quote someone at a recent presentation, ' This has given me such a lift to know that what I give is so appreciated by my manager and team, I love working here and what I do and this just makes it all the more special.'"The extension of the Operations Staff Long Service Recognition awards that was implemented last year has also meant a lot to the staff who have received them.  A seemingly small gesture by way of the presentation of a certificate and badge, but big in terms of the school recognising that member of staff’s loyalty and commitment to the Schools over a number of years. Congratulations all!"[gallery size="medium" link="none" ids="https://www.stamfordschools.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/1_0010_Alison-Durrant-LSA.jpg|Alison Durrant - Long Service Award - 20 Years,https://www.stamfordschools.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/1_0002_Gabi-LSA.jpg|Gabi Hammond - Long Service Award - 15 Years,https://www.stamfordschools.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/1_0007_Bob-Carder-LSA.jpg|Bob Carder - Long Service Award - 15 Years,https://www.stamfordschools.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/1_0008_Barrington-Ward-LSA.jpg|Barrington Ward - Long Service Award - 15 Years,https://www.stamfordschools.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/1_0014_Jo-Spittlehouse-LSA.jpg|Jo Spittlehouse - Long Service Award - 15 Years,https://www.stamfordschools.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/1_0000_Jbo-LSA.jpg|Jacqui Boles - Long Service Award - 10 Years,https://www.stamfordschools.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/1_0004_Diane-Beckingham.jpg|Diane Beckingham - Long Service Award - 10 Years,https://www.stamfordschools.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/1_0007_S-Measures-LSA.jpg|Sally Measures - Long Service Award - 10 Years,https://www.stamfordschools.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/1_0011_A-Mullan.jpg|Alison Mullan - Long Service Award - 10 Years,https://www.stamfordschools.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/1_0000_Viv-Cunningham.jpg|Viv Cunningham - Commendation,https://www.stamfordschools.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/1_0001_Jane-Kew.jpg|Jane Kew - Commendation,https://www.stamfordschools.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/1_0002_Tracey-Asher.jpg|Tracey Asher - Commendation,https://www.stamfordschools.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/1_0003_Emma-King.jpg|Emma King - Commendation,https://www.stamfordschools.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/1_0001_Valerie-Allam.jpg|Valerie Allam - Commendation,https://www.stamfordschools.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/1_0003_Stuart-Burke.jpg|Stuart Burke - Commendation,https://www.stamfordschools.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/1_0004_Simon-Dagley.jpg|Simon Dagley - Commendation,https://www.stamfordschools.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/1_0005_Coral-Burke.jpg|Coral Burke - Commendation,https://www.stamfordschools.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/1_0005_Sarah-Ellison.jpg|Sarah Ellison - Commendation,https://www.stamfordschools.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/1_0006_Carolyne-Carr.jpg|Carolyne Carr - Commendation,https://www.stamfordschools.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/1_0006_Sam-Bent.jpg|Sam Bent - Commendation,https://www.stamfordschools.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/1_0008_Rebecca-Taylor.jpg|Rebecca Taylor - Commendation,https://www.stamfordschools.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/1_0009_Andy-Parker.jpg|Andy Parker - Commendation,https://www.stamfordschools.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/1_0009_Pete-McRoyall.jpg|Pete McRoyall - Commendation,https://www.stamfordschools.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/1_0010_Natalie-Pretsell.jpg|Natalie Pretsell - Commendation,https://www.stamfordschools.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/1_0011_Lauren-Bullimore.jpg|Lauren Bullimore - Commendation,https://www.stamfordschools.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/1_0012_Julia-Pile.jpg|Julia Pile - Commendation,https://www.stamfordschools.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/1_0013_Jolanta-Maslon.jpg|Jolanta Maslon - Commendation"] The following members of staff not photographed above, also received awards:Anne Pulley - Long Service Award - 10 YearsElla Bryan - Long Service Award - 10 YearsJason Grosse - Long Service Award - 10 YearsTina Edwards - Long Service Award - 10 YearsFor more news from the Stamford Endowed Schools Community, please click here.
