Qualifications and Experience...

I have taught in various Primary and Junior Schools in Southampton and Gosport. Having only recently left whole class teaching,  I have 27+ years experience and an up to date knowledge of the curriculum content in KS1 and 2. I am also familiar and confident in teaching within KS3. 

Throughout my career, I have been involved in several Ofsted inspections, where my lesson observations have been graded Good to Outstanding. I  maintain high standards within my teaching by ensuring that children have clear targets,  a clear routine through well organised, personalised sessions. An awareness of my expectations and boundaries is important in establishing good relationships from the initial introduction. I am especially proud of the strong relationships that I have built with pupils over the years based largely on trust with a little humour on the side where needed!
