AN 'OPEN-MINDED and fantastic' teacher should be repaid for all the children that he has moulded and all the lives he has improved, has been nominated for the Pride Of Guernsey Teacher of the Year Award, sponsored by Garenne.
Neil Taylor was nominated by Nikki Harrison, who is now 29 and said Mr Taylor had been a teacher when she was at the school and had taught all three of her children as well.

'This change has all been down to Mr Taylor,' she said.
'My son now has the confidence he needs to succeed.'
Mrs Harrison described how Mr Taylor had been absolutely fantastic and said she could not thank him enough for what he had done.
