HEADTEACHER KAT
How long have you been teaching and what subjects have you taught?
I have been in education in the UK for over 16 years with a further 2 and a half years teaching English as a Foreign Language abroad in Nepal and South Korea.
I spent 7 years in KS1 and KS2 as Literacy Coordinator. I then moved to Secondary and spent 4 years teaching KS3 and KS4, including GCSE English. I was Literacy and Transition Coordinator during that time. Finally, I moved to Secondary SEN and have been a Deputy Headteacher for over 5 years leading Teaching and Learning; making decisions on curriculum, assessment, policy, CPD and overseeing the monitoring and tracking of progress.
This cross phase experience has given me a unique insight into the journey of a learner and, in particular, the kinds of barriers to learning which young people can encounter.
What do you enjoy the most about teaching?
To see young people discover their strengths and develop their interests, especially out of the classroom, is always a joy. To forge relationships in a pastoral setting is inspiring and often surprising, as they discover and demonstrate skills they didn’t realise they have.
What three words would you use to describe yourself as a teacher?
Patient, flexible, intuitive.

What do you enjoy the most about teaching?
The thing I enjoy most about teaching is seeing the children develop, not just academically but emotionally too. To see them learn independence and build their curiosity. I also love to see the pride children show when they not only celebrate success but learn from their mistakes.

Compassionate, creative and happy.


SECONDARY TEACHER DAWN
How long have you been teaching and what subjects have you taught?
As a stay at home mother I feel as though I have been teaching for over 20 years, although in reality it has been nearly 10 years. I have been lucky enough to have a broad range of teaching experiences from preschool through
university levels. Middle school, secondary and university science has been a focus of mine though even when I had rotations with the tiny learners I focused on science. Despite science being my hands down favorite, I have also
taught English as a second language (ESL), literacy and maths.
What do you enjoy the most about teaching?
The absolutely brilliant thing about teaching is having the privilege of watching the student grow academically. Seeing them come up with an idea and become independent thinkers is the very best part of teaching
