Michael Hayward of Birkenhead School, Oxton, Wirral and the University of Leicester's Dr Jonny Woodward receive RSC teaching awards

Michael Hayward's award acknowledges his work to develop and promote chemistry at a range of levels, to promote experimental chemistry, for his involvement with the wider community and for innovation through the school's Science in the community initiative. He joined Birkenhead School nine years ago as head of science and in his first year launched the school's annual science fair, which showcases the practical work students do in its science clubs. Now in its ninth year, the all-day event attracts over 400 pupils from local primary schools and is open to the public in the evening.
