🥇 Educator of the Month: December 2025

We’re proud to celebrate Theresa Watts, Vocational Pathways and Enterprise Lead within the Schools and Early Years Improvement Service, as our December Educator of the Month.

Theresa consistently goes above and beyond to create meaningful, high-quality opportunities for young people across Enfield. Through her proactive approach and deep commitment to collaboration, she plays a vital role in strengthening links between education, employers, and local services — ensuring that students are better supported as they explore future pathways.

In her role, Theresa works closely with schools and educators to champion vocational pathways and enterprise opportunities that broaden young people’s horizons. She understands the importance of exposure to real-world experiences and career insights, particularly for students who may not otherwise have access to them. This commitment is reflected in the way she actively seeks out, shares, and promotes opportunities that add genuine value to schools and learners across the borough.

Theresa has been a fantastic advocate for F4S, regularly sharing and championing our opportunities with her network. Thanks to her support, our programmes and events have reached at least 150 young people, significantly extending their impact across Enfield. Her efforts help ensure that educators are aware of the opportunities available to them and that students can benefit from encounters with inspiring professionals and practical career learning experiences.

What truly sets Theresa apart is her proactive mindset and strong partnership working. She doesn’t just share opportunities — she actively helps bring them to life by connecting the right people, encouraging collaboration, and keeping young people’s needs at the heart of everything she does. The result is a tangible, positive impact felt by schools, educators, and students alike.

At Founders4Schools, we’re incredibly grateful to work with educators like Theresa, whose dedication helps open doors for young people and strengthens the ecosystem of support around them. Her work exemplifies the power of collaboration and the difference one committed individual can make across an entire community.

Thank you, Theresa, for your continued support, leadership, and passion for creating brighter futures. We’re delighted to recognise you as our December Educator of the Month.
