Jarrow Cross C of E Primary School

• Work Experience

  • Sep 2015 - Jul 2017

  Throughout sixth form, I had a placement in a local primary school. This allowed me to improve my interpersonal skills through communicating with the students, staff and the parents. I worked independently as well as with groups of children from the ages 4 – 11. I also completed tasks given to me by the teacher to an exemplary standard. Using my own initiative to develop a learning experience focused to the children's needs has proved beneficial in supporting the teaching staff. Consequently, I have always been invited back and asked to help out on several school trips. Show less
