Summary

I am a passionate, enthusiastic and hard working practitioner who strives to provide the best possible opportunities for learners within education. I am a reliable individual in which parents, learners and staff can trust. I believe all children are capable of achieving their goals and I am a dedicated to facilitate this through providing appropriate support, fostering positive relationships and avoiding capping pupils within their learning. I work hard to create an inclusive environment in which all pupils feel safe and included within, ultimately motivated to learn. I see the best in every child which has a positive impact on their learning goals. I am currently a newly qualified teacher (NQT) in KS2 working within the Scottish National Curriculum.
