I will endeavour to provide students with strong progressive values and intellectual rigour, in order to negate remaining prejudices, such as racism and misogyny. I want to promote innovation, risk taking, citizenship, tolerance and academic rigour. As well as my current subject responsibilities (History & Politics), I am passionate about providing enriching extra-curricular opportunities, particularly in the field of enrichment such as debating, public speaking & ambitious field trips.

My track record can be attributed to several factors; however, leading by example and genuine enthusiasm are integral to my success. History should promote a love for the past and how that past influences us and shapes our mindset and identity. I take great pride in encouraging students to participate in debate and discussion. Students should be encouraged to show off their abilities and ask challenging questions. The History graduating class of 2022 remarkably achieved full marks for the external Pearson IAL History.
