Huge congratulations to our incredible Teacher of Biology, Mrs Nicholls whose been nominated for the prestigious Royal Society of Biology School's Biology Teacher of the Year Award 2025.

The nomination was made by an alumna who wanted to acknowledge her inspiring teaching and the tremendous impact she has had on pupils. We are so proud to see Mrs Nicholls’ dedication and passion recognised in this way. 

Catherine Nicholls says: “I am absolutely delighted to be nominated by one of my former pupils and it really means a lot to me to know that my teaching has made a difference. I am extremely grateful to be able to work as part of an exceptional and supportive Biology department at LEH.”
The award seeks to identify the UK’s leading secondary education teachers, recognising the invaluable role they play in educating and inspiring the next generation of biologists.
