Summary
I’m an enthusiastic and committed educator with over ten years of experience working with learners across Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. Currently leading the Year 5 team as Acting Year Leader, I enjoy creating inclusive, engaging learning environments where all children feel supported and motivated to do their best. I'm passionate about helping learners grow,not just academically but personally and I strive to bring energy, creativity, and care into everything I do.
Alongside my teaching role, I’ve taken on responsibilities that allow me to support colleagues, contribute to school improvement, and be part of a strong professional learning culture. I’m currently pursuing the NPQLT to deepen my leadership skills and strengthen my impact. I also believe strongly in the values of High Performance Learning and enjoy championing approaches that help both learners and staff aim high and achieve their potential.
