young minds matter
I have worked with children in various settings for almost twenty-five years. I
trained as a teacher at University College Bretton Hall, graduating in 2000 with
First Class Honours in Education and English with Qualified Teacher Status.
Since then, I have continued to study and develop my professional practice. I
gained Advanced Skill Teacher Status in 2005 and Primary Maths Specialist
Teacher Status in 2010. In June 2017, I completed a course for Maths Mastery
Leading Teachers. Professional roles have included a secondment to WMDC as Lead
Facilitator for a Y6/7 transition project, Advanced Skills Teacher and Deputy
Headteacher of a large primary school. I have held a life-long passion for
learning and believe that all children deserve the best education possible. It
is my aim to build on the work carried out in schools and deliver tailored,
personalised learning in a friendly supportive environment, which develops
confidence and enables children and young people to fulfil their potential,
whatever their ability or barriers to learning. I firmly believe that education
is the key that opens up opportunities for the future and want to use my
extensive knowledge and experience to support all our pupils.
