Andria is the 2018 Global Teacher Prize Winner. She teaches at Alperton Community School, a secondary school academy located in one of the most ethnically diverse places in the UK. Students come from some of the poorest families in Britain and are exposed to gang violence. Working as an art and textiles teacher and as a member of the senior leadership team, Andria redesigned the curriculum across all subjects from scratch while working alongside other teachers so that it resonates with her pupils. While recognizing the importance of a quality curriculum and discipline, Andria focuses on building trust-based relationships with her students. Thanks to Andria’s multiple initiatives to help student’s reach their highest potential, Alperton is now in the top 1 to 5% of the country in terms of qualifications and accreditations and has been awarded the Institute of Education’s Professional Development Platinum Mark, an honor fewer than 10 British schools have ever achieved.
