The award comes with full funding, including return travel to the UK, accommodation and food, and is made possible thanks to BAAS in conjunction with the Thomas Jefferson Foundation and the International Centre for Jefferson Studies.

The Barringer/Monticello Award enables a teacher based in the UK to attend the Monticello Teacher Institute in Charlottesville, Virginia – a week-long immersive, professional development programme – that provides the opportunity to research and learn in Charlottesville.

As Head of Department, Rory has embedded the study of US history throughout each Key Stage, ensuring that there is a sustained understanding of US studies throughout a pupil’s time at school.

Congratulations to the winner of the Barringer/Monticello Award: Rory Reynolds of Queen Mary’s Grammar School!

The teacher of two of the previous student winners gets an award! 💫
