Gold-winner Oli McVeigh, Secondary School Teacher of the Year, contributed to this important article in The Sunday Times discussing the decline in the number of male secondary school teachers. Initiatives at Ferndown Upper School, like the boys' mentorship programme, show the positive impact that male role models can have on students, engaging openly with topics like mental health and masculinity, that are helping break down harmful stereotypes. We want to continue highlighting educators, like Oli, that are doing incredible work inside, and outside of the classroom to change perceptions and encourage more people into teaching.

Secondary School Teacher of the Year 2024 Assistant Headteacher at Ferndown Upper School
Delighted to have featured in The Sunday Times today talking about men entering into the teaching profession following a decline in the number of male teachers nationally. It was also great to be able to speak about the work that we are doing Ferndown Upper School on the Times Radio this morning. Thank you to Louise Eccles for bringing this issue to the surface and for featuring the work that we do ! Was also great to see James Vause as part of the article as well! https://lnkd.in/e9tSrHKg #FUSTakesBoysSeriously Deneen Kenchington MRes FCCT NPQH
