A NORTH-EAST science teacher has been short-listed for a £10,000 prize for her work.
Christine Prior, of Bede College, in Billingham, is one of seven people nationwide nominated for the Salters' Prize for Chemistry.
The winning teacher takes home £5,000, and the rest of the prize money is donated to her school's science department.
Nominations for the prize come from fellow teachers, students, parents and governors as well as education officers.
This year more than 50 nominations were received and the top 12 were observed in school by The Salters' judges.
The winner will be announced at a ceremony on December 7. Two runners-up will get medals and £500 cheques
