Oversaw the KS3 Curriculum during my time at Wycombe High School. I developed my skills in updating and organising the order of teaching to build up the skills of the students before GCSE. I also organised how we delivered feedback to promote student progress throughout the course.

Oversaw and ran a number of clubs throughout my time at Wycombe High School. Ran a KS3 science club to foster excitement and passion for science, completing a range of practicals outside the specification. Also ran a silver crest club for students to complete science projects and foster interest in science in the wider world. Additionally, ran a minecraft club to allow students to relax and discuss subjects they enjoy.
