On Saturday 9 November the prestigious One Dance UK Awards were held in Manchester. One of the awards was the Outstanding Secondary Dance Teaching Award and we were delighted that Miss Adams, one of Birchwood’s very own, beat off competition from around the country to be one of only three teachers nominated in this category. Alas on the night the award went to another no doubt very deserving teacher but we were delighted that Miss Adams’ contribution to her Dance students was recognised as a nominee. Anyone who has been in one of her lessons or one of our school productions knows Miss Adams to be a teacher of the highest quality whose commitment to her subject and students is beyond question. We are glad that this work has been recognised on a national scale and we hope that Miss Adams enjoyed her richly deserved evening in the limelight!
