“I am first and foremost a teacher who believes in ensuring excellent outcomes for all. I have taught across EYFS, KS1 and KS2 and my areas of expertise include phonic development and using these skills in reading and writing. I have had considerable experience using Jolly Phonics and Grammar – seeing children learn and embed these key life skills and enabling them to access the wider curriculum is a key driver in everything I do. I train and develop colleagues using highly effective interpersonal skills, building open and honest relationships, sharing subject knowledge and a passion for children’s learning. Training and support has been provided for all school stakeholders including Governors, Teaching Assistants and parents. I also hold the National SENDCo award and have significant experience of ensuring interventions match children’s needs.”
