From the age of 7 I aspired to be a teacher, I absolutely love teaching and have gained a wealth of experience teaching in Key Stages 1 and 2 across various schools. My first leadership role was Curriculum leader where I designed and implemented a bespoke creative curriculum. Following this, I became SENCO, in this role I gained extensive experience in leading a Physical Disability SRP, Nurture provision and supporting/ coaching staff to develop an inclusive learning environment.

I’m incredibly passionate about diversity and inclusion, I enjoy bringing creativity to the SENCO role, through the implementation of various projects to enrich experiences for all pupils. One of my priorities has been developing strong relationships with all stake holders through coffee mornings, termly SEN surgeries and by simply being a visible leader and advocate for inclusion.

I have studied NPQSL and NASENCO qualifications and I recently gained Team Teach Instructor accreditation too.

I am incredibly proud to work for Illuminate Minds, a forward-thinking trust that is genuinely committed and dedicated to promoting excellence everyday through Inclusion.
