Mia ST

Our Star Teacher for Autumn 2025 is Mia!

Thank you for all of the wonderful nominations we received for our Autumn 2025 Star Teacher competition.

Choosing a winning nomination  

Nominations this term were judged by Ruth Williams, who runs Tameside's Little Gems.

Ruth comments: "Thank you for letting me judge the competition, there was so many lovely comments which made it really hard to choose just one! "

Suzanne Horton, Franchise Owner of Puddle Ducks Greater Manchester comments:

“I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who took the time to nominate their teachers for the Star Teacher award and to thank Ruth for judging the award for us this term.  It really is so lovely to read all of the fantastic comments our customers have to say about our amazing teachers, and testament to how passionate they are about their role! Well done to Mia, we are all very proud of you and you thoroughly deserve the award this term." 

The winning nomination

The winning nomination came from Jessica's mum, who swims at our Aqua Nurture pool in Gee Cross. 

Jessica had a difficult transition to level 4 and at times completely refused to go as struggles with change. She was completely lacking in confidence. After talking to Mia, she really worked with her to first get her back in the pool, then got her swimming again and now a few months later she is back to making progress. I was almost at the point of giving up which I'd have been gutted about as she's been going since 3 months old, but thanks to Mia, Jessica's back to enjoying swimming again. Thank you so much Mia!"

This term's wonderful winning nomination will now be sent on to our Head Office to be entered into the National Puddle Ducks Star Teacher award, good luck Mia!
