Adam Hanford

I am a hardworking, reliable and committed teacher. I am particularly proud of my success in building productive and respectful relationships with both pupils and colleagues which consistently results in strong support networks within the classroom and beyond. I continually strive to facilitate their academic, social and emotional development.

My interests enhance and support my daily teaching practice; often resulting in me leading extracurricular activities. A current example of this would be my current competitive Ultramarathon and mountain running ventures laying the foundation for my coaching of the school’s cross country team. Previously this has enhanced leadership roles whilst involved in Duke of Edinburgh award expeditions at other schools. Furthermore, having been a martial artist for over twenty years and holding multiple Dan grades I’ve repeatedly had the opportunity to instill student discipline and respect; this practice has carried itself into the classroom and has repeatedly proven to be essential in the establishment of a positive and respectful classroom dynamic. Mostly, my interests allow me the opportunity to be a positive role model that leads as an example for effort driven results.
