I am currently deputy subject lead for English at Highcliffe School, where I teach Year 7 through to A Level. As a school, we share the belief that education has the power to change lives for the better. I believe that effective, adaptive, and supportive teaching of English Language and English Literature has the upmost importance in creating opportunities for students as they progress through, and progress from, compulsory education. The subject of English covers an incredible and fascinating range of content, which teachers must show an expertise in and an enthusiasm for. I have a passion for pedagogy and reflective practice, which I attempt to share and promote with colleagues.
