The national award comes with a trophy and gift voucher, which was presented in school by  a local Unison representative.

Lisa is one of only 11 winners in all of the East Midlands and she was the only person to receive two nominations.

Lisa's accolade comes in recognition of her outstanding work providing one to one support for a Netherfield pupil - and always with a smile on her face. She also finds time in her busy day to work in class with many other children, supporting staff and the wider school ethos.
