What the hosts have said Steve Lowe, sales director for LocaliQ, the digital marketing arm of Newsquest, said: “As we prepare for the Education Awards, I want to congratulate everyone in the education sector for the fantastic work you have all done in what we all know have been exceptionally challenging times for teachers, governors and support staff. Back in September, delayed from the spring we ran the awards to find the best from 2019, and those stories were amazing. “Now we have the stories behind how pupils, support staff and the schools themselves are impacted by the events of the past twelve months, yet we were still able to find those that go above and beyond, and it is for these reasons we are proud to be hosting the awards once again, even though it’s virtual and not in person.

A DRIVE-IN church service is set to take place at Girlington Morrisons on Christmas Day. In a year that has tested both our faith and strength, Rev Chris Chorlton, the rector of Girlington, Heaton and Manningham parish, wanted to bring people of all ages together for prayers. The short outdoor service will start at 11am sharp and feature carols, a brass band and the chance for you to wave to loved ones from the safety of your car. Rev Chris Chorlton told the Telegraph & Argus: When everything is different this Christmas we wanted to offer a different service that was accessible to all - especially those who are shielding so haven t returned to Church yet. This short service will include carols and the opportunity to be together as a community on this special day.
