Pupils, parents, families, teachers and all school staff have experienced a rollercoaster 12 months and so many have risen to the challenge in their own way.
From mums, dads and grandparents who’ve had their patience tested with home schooling, to pupils supporting one another’s health and wellbeing.
And of course the thousands of teachers who’ve gone over and above, helping their students adapt, learn and prepare for the next stage of their lives.
Power NI in association with Belfast Live, wants to recognise the fantastic work carried out by teachers in the past year.
