OUTSTANDING Fylde Coast teachers could win special awards -- and nominations are being sought from residents, schools and teachers.

Organisers of this year's Education Resources Awards are seeking nominations for the awards, which will be presented at the Education Show in Birmingham on March 7.

Awards organiser Grant Collier said: "We are seeking nominations from the general public, schools and teachers alike for teachers with special or outstanding leadership qualities.

"We are also looking for successful schools that have either demonstrated year-on-year improvement, or perhaps clever school management, or schools that have created partnerships with local businesses or the community."

Nominations for the awards should be made to emma.nichols @nexusmedia.com or phone Emma on (01322) 660070 before January 25.
