Pepe Rahman Hart
Pepe has been the Head Teacher of the Trinity Church of England School in
Radstock since it opened three years ago when two local schools merged.
As a result of her hard work and determination, Pepe, 39, has developed a
revolutionary environmental programme which is being adopted in other
schools.
Every child now participates in a unique recycling project, as part of an
'Eco-Committee' to eduicate them in environmental issues. It led to the
school being named the "Cleanest in the Region" by the local authority.
She has introduced a highly successful choir and drama lessons as well as
a range of school trips.
Her enthusiasm has even seen her going to school dressed as a tennis
player to encourage children to take up new sports and she started theme
days at the school including turning it into an imaginary airport , to
'fly' the pupils to Bastille Day in France to give them an insight into
other cultures. As a result, grades have gone up.
Pepe says: "Life's not just about SAT results - we want them to think I
love life and enrich the lives of others."
