Since September 2024 Lower and Upper Key Stage 2 have been combined and I have been a Form Teacher (0.6 MPS6) to a mixed class of 28 in KS2 with subject leadership responsibility for Mathematics, attending Maths Lead Network meetings for the Wessex Trust. The class includes EAL, as well as variety of children with SEND, whom I currently teach alongside a couple of Able, Gifted and Talented pupils.
I was approached to join the school as the joint Year 3/4 teacher in April 2023 after a period of Supply Teaching at the school.
During my time I have:
I have also recently completed a Paedriatic First Aid refresher course, which is valid for the next three years.
Regular Supply Teacher across a wide range of Wiltshire Schools.
After a year as a Teaching Assistant in Year 5/6, I was accepted on to the Graduate Teacher Program achieving Qualified Teacher Status in July 2013.
Early Radio Career - I worked as a DJ in the South of France before securing my first radio presenting role on Riviera Radio in Monte Carlo. On the completion of a Radio Production Course, I worked for Radio Lynx (an independent production company) and covered the Edinburgh Fringe Festival as a Reporter for Festival FM. Whilst I was there the BBC opened up to independent production and I came up with a Light Entertainment series for BBC Radio 2 which was successfully commissioned, produced and well-reviewed, allowing me to springboard into a more diverse range of productions for BBC Radio through the independent production sector.
