  Taught students with range of academic abilities, ensuring that all resources are accessible and appropriate for their individual needsSole responsibility of lesson planning for the entire year 8 and year 11 curriculum for whole department use. This involved planning multiple versions of the same lesson so that they would accommodate high, middle and lower set classes with appropriate ‘stretch and challenge’ or scaffolding (supportive). These resources have been shared with other schools within the academy chain. GCSE results from my 2021-22 year 11 cohort (set 5 – foundation) revealed that 50% of the class achieved the highest possible grade (5-5), and 80% of students were on or above their year 11 target.

  Served an extremely underprivileged community in Nottingham with 74% pupils having English as an Additional Language (EAL) and 56.3% being Pupil Premium (PP). Despite these significant barriers to learning, the school achieved a progress 8 score of 0.72 which was classed as being ‘well above average’ according to Gov UK. Liaised closely with the EAL department to ensure that lessons were accessible to EAL (English as an Additional Language) students. Ensured that these students were intentionally supported to guide their academic progress, and to improve attitudes towards school within this group. Mastered the implementation of both Rosenshine and Teach Like a Champion (TLAC) principles in all lessons. Also developed effective planning and behaviour management abilities through the TeachFirst Leadership Development Programme Utilisation of ‘lesson packets’ which enabled a consistent structure of lessons within the classroom, but also across the school. Lesson packets were differentiated to meet students’ academic ability and, where appropriate, adapted for the needs of SEN pupils. This better enabled all students to achieve their expected progress.
