Natasha Lopez

Being able to communicate effectively with children, parents and colleagues is imperative in my role as a teacher. I believe I am a natural relationship builder and enjoy spending time getting to know everyone I come into contact with.

I build positive and caring relationships with all children that I teach, getting to know their unique characteristics. I create a positive and encouraging learning environment, always making sure that I have an excellent understanding of pupils abilities and next steps. I collect, analyse and track data on pupils progress.

I have excellent organisational skills that I use in all areas of my role from daily routines in the classroom, planning, marking, assessing, leading worships, meeting with parents, leading staff meetings and being history subject lead.

I work strategically, always making sure I am up to date with our school development plan and work with colleagues to achieve the overall aims and interests of our school.
