Mrs Marks has taught in our Nursery Unit for over 22 years. She is a dedicated, inspirational teacher whose primary priority is the children in her care. She is a real treasure here in Hardy Memorial.
Her nominee, a parent, described Mrs Marks as ‘an extremely warm and affectionate educator who knows her students and their parents so well, ……. the perfect example of what an early years’ educator should be ………. despite the additional needs he had last year, Mrs Marks was simply amazing …….. nothing is too much for her …. she updates parents in her own time and gives regular feedback.
