Embodied the vision for providing excellence in Montessori education, and care for every child and pupil, as a Primary School Teacher, I created an environment in which every child could blossom, with vast opportunities for children to learn and grow at the own pace while building a solid foundation for future success.

I completed the Qualified Teacher Programme (QTS) as a Secondary School Teacher in Greenacre School for Boys. I developed new Schemes of Work within the Modern Foreign Language (MFL) department for Key Stage 3 and introduced a ‘Reward System’ to praise attentiveness in classes. Moreover, I implemented a MFL extra-curricular club that enabled those with interest in languages to develop advanced knowledge and reflect on cultural aspects. As Lead Teacher of Languages, I delivered Spanish and French to Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 (inc. GCSE preparation), led a key Spanish Trip to contextualise Spanish learners’ abilities and was also tasked with delivering the Key Stage 5 (AS Level) General Studies programme, and the Geography curriculum to Year 7.
