Professional Mentor

I'm a secondary English teacher who has been teaching for over 20 years. My extensive teaching experience includes teaching from Year 5 through to Year 13 and I was also a SENCO for 5 years before becoming Deputy Head at a secondary PRU and also at a middle school. Working as a part-time teacher, it allows me to not only fulfil my passion for teaching but also allows me the time to lead and mentor our next generation of teachers in my SCITT role; also something I feel extremely passionate about.
