Mr Knappert had a big surprise at the end of Day 2 of the National VEX Robotics championships when it was announced that he had been awarded 'Teacher of the Year' to the cheers of a very large audience of students, teachers and parents. 

Bridie Gaynor, VEX Robotics UK, explained why he was chosen above all the other teachers across the country:

‘Since Mr Knappert took over robotics at Greig he has put in an enormous amount of time and effort to develop the programme. We at VEX Robotics UK encourage experienced roboteers to mentor the younger ones and Mr Knappert really understands this aspect of the programme – he gets it. We know that your sixth formers work alongside students on the IQ programme, acting as role models and supporting them in lots of different ways, and that's what helps them progress. He has also been a pivotal person for us, hosting visitors from Europe who have been able to find out about the STEM curriculum and the many types of extracurricular activities schools have in place. He has been brilliant.’

Well done, Mr K.
