I am the class teacher for Matisse class and also the lead practitioner for the school. I continue to love my job as each new day brings new challenges, new learning (for myself and the pupils), and no two days are ever the same!

This year I will be focussing on developing oracy across the school. Oracy is a fundamental skill that underpins learning, personal development, and future success. As a school, we will empower our pupils to think critically and communicate effectively. Our aim is to develop confidence and build essential life skills, such as negotiation, persuasion, and active listening.

In my spare time, I embrace any creative opportunity from learning new art or craft skills to singing and dancing. Inspiring learners to be creative is always at the heart of my teaching, as in the words of Albert Einstein, ‘Creativity is intelligence having fun!’
