Work history
Teacher of Physical Education

Wolverhampton

- Our Lady and St Chad Catholic Academy was my placement school and the first school I have worked in after passing my PGCE. Since joining the academy, I have fulfilled many roles, for example;
- Leading a year 11 BTEC course to ensure students achieved their optimal grade. This cohort consisted of 55 students which I led a team of teachers to support the students. This cohort has been successful. The course is a level 1/2 BTEC Sport qualification. As a third year teacher this was a massive achievement.

- Planning and delivering excellent lessons that encourage students to challenge themselves and have a sense of independence and confidence.
- Attending CPD sessions to enhance my own practise.
- Putting on extra-curricular activities such as football, basketball, badminton, table tennis, cricket, gaelic football and more to provide students with an opportunity to participate with a wide range of sports.
- Safeguarding all students by ensuring school policies are put into place.
- Planning trips for students to provide them with opportunities to experience various cultures, for example, in October 2024, I have planned a trip to Valencia (Spain) for 45 students to play football and experience a different culture.
- Teaching lessons in Pearsons BTEC Sport and in core Physical Education Lessons.
