A SCIENCE tutor is hoping to win a national award at a teaching awards ceremony.
In the summer Kate Campion-Smith, who teaches at Cator Park School in Lennard Road, Beckenham, won The Specialist Schools and Academies Trust Award for Outstanding New Teacher of the Year in London and the south east.
On October 31 the 25-year-old will find out if she is national winner for the same category as part of the UK Teaching Awards 2010.
Around 2,000 guests are expected at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane in London for the event, which will be screened on BBC2 at 6pm.
There will be 12 winners in total who will receive awards from famous names including the awards’ president, Oscar-winning actress Emma Thompson, patron Henry Winkler, Education Secretary Michael Gove and Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood.
