I have over 23 years teaching experience. I possess a real passion and love for teaching and learning. My classroom is a place where children feel they can challenge themselves, achieve their targets and enjoy their learning in a fun atmosphere. As former pupil wrote to me, ‘ I’m positive this year has been the most enjoyable of my school life. Your unbelievable kindness has given me confidence in everything I do, including this letter, if it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be able to express my feelings.’
I always endeavour to make my lessons, purposeful, meaningful and creative. I always focus on the individual needs and interests of all children. By doing this, standards are higher and the quality of learning is outstanding.
I have a real passion for teaching English, Maths and History, always thinking outside the box to make my lessons as creative as possible. An example of this was the work I produced in Year 6, where I created a literacy unit based upon Harry Potter, teaching innovative and dynamic lessons such as letters of complaint in the guise of a ‘howler’. Another example, is after a 4-day World War One battlefield trip I organised to Belgium and France, an SEND child who attended the trip, produced writing on their battlefield experiences that was such a level It was used as an exemplification piece of writing nationally. I believe that there should never be any barriers to learning and no one should ever be left behind.
