Jul 2016 - Sep 2019
I teach the iGCSE syllabus to years 7-10 and an 'Advanced Mathematics' course to year 11. I am also a tutor for a sixth form class. The circumstances of the students at BSKL are radically different from those of the students with whom I have worked previously. Rather than coming from economically deprived backgrounds, these students are, on the whole, from extremely well-off families. As such, the challenges have changed as the foci tend to relate to matters of managing expectation and purely academic concerns as opposed to the behavioural and motivational work that I had been required to focus on in previous school environments.

I taught exclusively year 8 for a full year, enabling 25 of the 58 students that I taught to achieve a level 7 or above by the end of the year. This school has been rated Outstanding by OfSTED and serves an area of relative economic deprivation. The staff at the school are consistently excellent practitioners and I was able to learn a lot in my time here through the thorough CPD programme and consistent drop-ins on colleagues. The style of the school was very unconventional (hence my teaching of year 8 and no other year-group) and has given me lots of ideas of things I would like to emulate, as well as plenty I would prefer to avoid.

I worked for two years at a school in a school which had been designated as 'Requiring Improvement' by OfSTED and served an area of economic deprivation in Derby. As well as working towards my PGCE through Teach First, I taught years 7-11 whose range of attainment was level 2 in maths up to A* level. My GCSE result output was outstanding in both years, with some students making 3 full levels (9 sub-levels) of progress in the space of just 9 months.
