As a senior threshold teacher, I aways had a student teacher each year to supervise and support. I trained to be a mentor with a London University. I have achieved Stage 3 in Mentor Training (the final level). As a qualified mentor, I have mentored over 20 trainee teachers from local Universities.

Being a class teacher has always had its challenges and during this time I was also able to coordinate many subjects including organising Partnership and District Sports, Swimming Galas, Camping trips and Community Cohesion links with other schools. I have also helped produce the KS1 and 2 performances each year. I have arranged many trips to places of interest and I was able to visit a Spanish school whilst involved with the Comenius Project.

Throughout my teaching career I have had a particular interest in children with Special Educational Needs and have a Certificate from the University of London in Special Education.

In July 2011, I was nominated for and successfully achieved the Chartered London Teacher Status and in May 2012, I received the Fellowship of the College of Teachers (FCOT) from the Institute of Education, London.
