John Collier is looking forward to presenting the awards, he says:
" I am delighted to be presenting the awards to staff from a wide range of schools. These awards recognise a contribution made over the majority of a persons working life.
"The awards represent an incredible achievement from teachers and support staff whose service has made an immeasurable contribution to the lives and education of young people in Cumbria. I would like to thank each and everyone of them for the dedication and commitment they have given to young people in the county."
