Accomplishments
Extract from Ofsted report (St Mary's Hare Park, 2015):
The learning culture is highly positive and creative. For example, in a Year 5 mathematics lesson, pupils were teaching each other how to find the right product using multiplication, via a game they had designed themselves. The teacher constantly checked pupils’ understanding, reassuring pupils that the process is far more important than the answer. As a result, pupils were confident to have a go and made outstanding progress.

As a teacher for over sixteen years, I have worked with a diverse range of children. I believe that I build flourishing relationships with all pupils by trying to recognise the whole child, and continually striving to improve the the relationship and communication.
I am always keen to learn and am happy to attend any training or gain further qualifications.
