Matravers are thrilled and proud that Miss Richards was recognised for her superb dance teaching practice when she was presented with the ‘Outstanding Secondary Dance Teaching Award’ at the One Dance UK Awards Ceremony on Sunday 16 July 2017. Miss Richards is Head of Dance at Matravers School and this award is richly deserved recognition of her outstanding teaching practice, her passion for dance and her dedication to the subject and all of her students. Dance continues to flourish at Matravers with highly successful and popular GCSE and A Level Dance courses, excellent dance provision throughout Key Stage 3 and a range of enrichment activities for students across the school. The quality of work that the students produce within the dance department is truly amazing and Miss Richard’s teaching and leadership of the subject contribute significantly to their success.
