These are values I try to instil in my students through well-thought and engaging lessons, and in all other interactions with them throughout the school day.

I highly value the progress and development of children not just in the classroom on an academic level, but also outside the classroom to develop the whole child. I believe to make this possible it is crucial to engage with children in a relationship of trust so that they can be inspired to discover and develop their own identity as a person and a learner. My greatest enjoyment as a teacher is to create an environment that gives children the opportunity to develop and progress, and to see their confidence grow.

I am a reflective practitioner, and I am always looking for ways I can improve in my role as an educator.

Through working collaboratively with colleagues, students, and parents, and keeping up to date with current professional practice, I enjoy the process of continuing to improve in my role as a teacher.
