We would like to say a huge congratulations to Runshaw CIT Leader and teacher of T Level Civil Engineering Stuart Hide, who has been named Educate Teacher of the Year 2025!
The prestigious Educate Awards ceremony was held at Liverpool Cathedral in November. Selected from thousands of entries and shortlisted alongside four other exceptional educators, Stuart was recognised for his outstanding dedication to teaching and the transformative impact he has on his students.


The Educate Awards celebrates the finest schools, colleges, teachers and support staff across Merseyside, Cheshire, Lancashire, Greater Manchester and Cumbria, coming together to celebrate their achievements in a truly unique fashion. As Course Leader for T Level Design, Surveying and Planning at Runshaw, Stuart has become known for his commitment to raising aspirations and providing real opportunities for young people entering the construction and engineering sectors.

Remarkably, Stuart followed the emotional evening with just four hours of sleep before completing the Wirral Ultra Marathon, a gruelling 36-mile challenge tackled during a blistery weekend. He expressed heartfelt thanks to all teaching and support staff at Runshaw College for their continued support on his teaching journey, and to everyone who has contributed to his chosen charity, Claire House Children’s Hospice, in memory of his daughter Poppy, who sadly passed away in 2023.
