Steve Hill MBE Deputy Headteacher • Pride of Oldham Winner x 2 (2005 / 2016) • National Teaching Award Winner (2006) • National Teaching Awards Fellow • Ambassador for the Teaching Agency • Ambassador for the Duke of Edinburgh Awards • Paul Harris Fellow – Rotary International • Trustee at Mahdlo Youth Zone • National Adventure Award Winner 2016 • National Happiness Award Winner (National Happiest School Person 2018) • MEN Inspirational Teacher of the Year Award 2019 • UK Fast Inspirational Teacher of the Year Awards 2019 • Civic Appreciation Award 2021 • Awarded an MBE from HRH the Queen for Services to Education & Charity (2015) I have been teaching in Oldham now for 25 years and been Deputy Headteacher at St. Joseph’s RC Primary School for 17 years. I feel very privileged to be in the teaching profession and still get the same buzz each and every day! To be in a position where I can do my very best to inspire, instil confidence and help to enable the children to develop themselves both academically and physically and to go on with confidence and hopefully achieve to their full potential in life is something very special indeed and this is what I strive to do each and every day. I have a motto within my classroom of “Work Hard - Play Hard” and this applies across the academic, sporting and outdoor and adventurous activities that I provide for the children both within my class and across the school. I try to make every child feel special and motivated to work hard to fulfil their full potential both within the classroom and outside of the classroom and to develop positive, confident attitudes which I hope will stay with them for life. I try and lead by example and practise what I preach with the children I teach as I continually strive to inspire them to be the very best that they can be. I’m continually telling the children that anything is possible and that they should never settle for anything less than their very best as they pursue their dreams. As a result of this each year I embark upon what have become known as “Mr Hill’s Challenges” which I hope help to inspire the children way beyond the classroom. These self-funded personal Challenges, have also been the catalyst for my Charity Fundraising, which I always involve the children I teach in, and over the last 10 years these Challenges have helped us to raise over £100,000 for a variety of Charities. I hope this helps to inspire the children further and adds an extra dimension to their lives. When time allows, alongside my teaching commitments, I like to deliver talks to other schools and youth groups about my Challenges – to try and inspire the next generation to have the confidence to Dream Big, to develop resilience and to show them that through self-belief, hard work and determination and never giving up when things get tough anything in life is possible. This has led to me becoming an Ambassador for the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award resulting in me giving talks and presenting Awards at our local High Schools and I have also been invited down to Buckingham Palace and St James Palace to be a Gold DofE Awards Guest Presenter which has been a huge honour. These personal Challenges have included:- • 2009 - Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania – the highest mountain in Africa. • 2010 - Climbing Mont Blanc – the highest mountain in Western Europe. • 2011 - Trekking 200 miles through the Sahara Desert. • 2012 - Climbing Mount Elbrus in Russia - the highest mountain in Europe. • 2013 - Completing an expedition through the Arctic wilderness with huskies. • 2013 - Trekking through the Jungles of Borneo. • 2013 - Climbing Mount Kinabalu – the highest mountain in South East Asia. • 2014 - Trekking to Mount Everest Base Camp. • 2014 - Completing the Tenzing Hillary Mount Everest Marathon. • 2015 - Completing the UVU North Pole Marathon. • 2016 - Completing the Petra Desert Marathon. • 2017 - Completing the Amazon Jungle Ultra Marathon – 230km self-supported race through the Amazon Jungle • 2018 - Completing the Arctic Ice Ultra - 230km self-supported race through the Arctic Wilderness • 2018 – Completing the London Marathon • 2018 - Completing the Uganda Marathon. • 2019 - Climbing Mount Toubkal – the highest mountain in North Africa. • 2019 - Completing the Uganda Marathon • 2021 – The Great Norse Run – 10 Marathons in 10 Days running the length of Iceland. • Many more Challenges planned for the future.
