Summary
Experienced educator with a comprehensive background across EYFS, KS1, and KS2 in various schools. Enthusiastic, dedicated, and reflective teacher with a strong commitment to providing high-quality education that nurtures every child's potential. I believe passionately in fostering a safe, stimulating, and inclusive learning environment where children are motivated, challenged, and supported to succeed both academically and personally. My philosophy is rooted in the belief that all pupils can achieve, and that it is the role of the teacher to create the conditions in which children are able to thrive.
