"I started teaching over twenty five years ago and was a Head of English and Head of Year before moving into a leadership post at Oasis Academy Coulsdon. I got into teaching because I wanted to share my love of English with others and help to transform the life chances of young people. I love working in education because no two days are the same. Working with behaviour and safeguarding gives me the chance to support young people in making better choices in order to be more successful. Having days when parents or students tell you that something you have done has made a real difference makes it all worthwhile. I teach English and enjoy sharing my love of texts with students and showing them the power of literature and how good literacy skills open doors of opportunity for us all."

The best part of the job is the day to day interaction with the students. It’s great building relationships with the students and seeing them develop. Of course, teaching Science is also right up there! The best subject ever. Although I am a Biologist, I love teaching Chemistry. That might sound odd but it’s just really interesting and fun."
