My journey as a teacher began with my passion to support my local Primary School. This developed into a mentoring role specialising in English for EAL pupils. After completing my first degree I had the opportunity to teach a Reception and a Year 1 class. This instilled confidence in my potential as a teacher and I completed my PGCE to acquire QTS.

During my first few years of teaching, I was tasked to restore community cohesion opportunities: leading interfaith workshops, linking with other schools. Soon after I became part of a team of OTP team and moved onto co-ordinating a subject; focusing on improving Literacy and Numeracy opportunities within Foundation subjects.

I later progressed onto Key Stage 1 Phase Leadership, where I worked closely with the SLT, Assessment and RWI Co-Ordinators to raise standards in Literacy and Numeracy.  In particular I worked on closing the gap for disadvantaged boys as well as extending and challenging the more able.  I strategically implemented high quality teaching and robust personalised strategies, to raise pupil progress. This included focused teaching, gap tasks, peer support, moderations and reflections.  

In 2014 I took a break to start a family.  I have since taken up a variety of roles including teaching online. I am currently a Year 5 teacher and the Primary Computing Co-Ordinator. My teaching methods reach out to all pupils including EAL, SEN and GT learners, as I firmly believe that every pupil has the protentional to succeed. Each person just needs the right support and guidance.

With my robust knowledge of the National Curriculum and the breadth of my experience across subjects and Key Stages I have the versatility to shape and personalise learning for each and every child. I hold a coaching and mentoring approach, ensures smooth progression. My method of adjusted style suits the needs of my students, providing strategic milestones and going the extra length to provide a holistic and successful teaching environment.
