I have an active role in the lower Key Stage 3 English classes, developing and conducting engaging lessons for students who are later preparing for Checkpoint exams. My priorities are to focus on the principals of safeguarding and student wellbeing, as well as positive re-enforcement, which help to maintain a positive student experience everyday. Building trust is important to me through dialogue and expectations as well as open communications to parents and caregivers.

Head of English & EAL
-
Jan 2021 - Apr 2023
As the Head of English & EAL, managing the departments and working collaboratively with other staff members is my core role. I have the opportunity to have a positive influence on the decisions made having to do with curriculum development and texts chosen for future years which is exciting. I teach senior years English (10 - 12 ) which I feel needs a supportive and communicative department to help unlock the full potential, of not just the senior students but students in all years of development.
