Thirty seven teachers, governors and support workers from schools and colleges across Cornwall have been shortlisted for the Cornwall Teacher Awards 2017.
Now in its second year, there were nearly 300 nominations for the awards, which recognise excellence in education in Cornwall.
The shortlist includes finalists from Mevagissey School, Newquay Tretherras, Richard Lander School, Indian Queens School, Sir Robert Gefferys School, Truro & Penwith College, and many more.
The winners will be announced at a ceremony, held at Truro Cathedral on April 21. The event is run by education marketing and PR company EMPRA.
Nikki Baron, business development director at EMPRA, said: “These remarkable individuals are an inspiration to us all, they are changing lives and giving pupils and students in Cornwall incredible support and encouragement – far more than is on their job descriptions.
“To be shortlisted is a substantial achievement, so if you know any of them, please congratulate them!”
The Cornwall Teacher Awards have been judged by national education experts.
