NewVIc wins London Teacher of the Year Award
Inspirational NewVIc teachers recognised by Basketball England.
NewVIc teacher William Twigg from Newham Sixth Form College has won a London Teacher of the Year Award. There are 13 awards available within each region, covering all aspects of basketball. He was selected for 1 of 13 Basketball England awards for the London region and celebrated online at the end of last month.
William was nominated for his outstanding work supporting, encouraging and mentoring students at all levels. The London Teacher of the Year Awards marks the vital contribution that NewVIc staff make to the community through the Sports Academy. The award recognises the selfless dedication and efforts made by staff across the basketball community.
Basketball England’s vision is to create a sport that’s valued in every community and accessible in every school, college and university, and inspires the wider population to engage in the game.
Magdalena Johnson, Vice Principal Student Achievement and Progress said:
“This award is a testament to our coach for his outstanding work. Our staff are committed to delivering an outstanding teaching and learning experience to all learners. He has worked incredibly hard to support, encourage and motivate students to achieve their full potential through the Basketball Academy. A huge thank you and congratulations to William for achieving this award.”
William Twigg, Head Coach of NewVIc Knights added:
“It means the world to have received this award. NewVIc Knights Basketball Academy was created 3 years ago and it has provided opportunities to young student athletes that may not have had opportunities at other educational establishments. Without them, I would not have achieved this award.
Having recently moved onto Essex Rebels in the WBBL, I know NewVIc will continue to develop the Basketball Academy in the right direction.”
