Employed as long-term supply to cover a maternity leave within the PE department. Once the supply term ended in PE I was kept on for another half term as general supply cover across the school, until I left to go on maternity leave to have my third child.

I was employed as a long-term supply to cover a maternity leave in the PE department. When one maternity finished I was kept on to cover another maternity leave in the same department. Although on supply I took pride in maintaining a strong working ethos and participated fully in department activities, taking on exam groups and after-school sports teams to attend competitions.

During my time at Oldbury Academy I held various teaching positions. I was initially employed as a PE teacher and School Sports Co-ordinator with responsibility for improving the National Curriculum PE within the local primary schools. I later took on the responsibility for KS3 PE within the department.

Across my 10 years I taught a range of exam based subjects, including, GCSE PE and BTEC Level 2 and 3, BTEC Health and Social Care and Food Technology.

Being a form tutor, and taking a group of students from Year 7 - Year 11 was a privilege.

Whilst at St Michael's I was a PE teacher and form tutor. I taught a broad PE curriculum, including GCSE PE. I implemented after-school clubs and took teams to a range of inter-school competitions. During my second year my Head of Department went on maternity leave which left me as the main girls PE teacher.
