A TEACHER who has led her school to success in five award schemes has been shortlisted for a national honour.
Jo Frost, headteacher at Ox Close Primary School, in Spennymoor, has been nominated in the leadership and management category of the BT Teacher of the Year awards.
Since taking up the post four years ago, Mrs Frost has seen the school receive Investors In People, Sport England Activemark, Arts Mark and Basic Skills Agency Quality Mark awards.
It was also praised by Durham County Council for its achievements and was presented with a certificate to celebrate its success.
Chairman of governors David Halliday nominated Mrs Frost for the award and judges have visited the school to meet governors, staff, parents and pupils before announcing the overall winner on June 12.
Mrs Frost said: "It's a great honour to be nominated for this award."
