Prep 4 Unlike   most,   my   passion   for   teaching   came   a   bit   later   on   in   life.   I   started   my   journey   on a   route   in   Clinical   Psychology,   which   led   me   into   the   educational   setting.   My   journey led    me    through    schools,    and    I    was    responsible    for    the    development    of    children through   adolescence.   This   is   where   I   decided   to   take   a   different   path,   and   make   a difference   in   children’s   lives   from   an   early   age.   Since   teaching,   not   only   do   I   feel   I’ve made   a   difference   in   my   pupil’s   lives,   but   they   have   enabled   me   to   enhance   my   passion for   learning   also.   I   love   teaching,   and   the   responsibilities   that   come   with   it,   and   I   will take great pride in promoting each student’s success in whatever they achieve. When   I   was   given   the   opportunity   to   teach   at   Clarendon   Cottage,   I   knew   immediately it   was   the   perfect   setting   for   me.   Being   an   ex-independent   school   pupil,   I   know   the importance   of   allowing   children   to   express   themselves   in   a   variety   of   different   ways and   to   help   them   grow   to   be   the   best   version   of   themselves.   One   of   the   best   things about   being   a   teacher,   is   learning   about   how   precious   and   unique   each   individual   child is,   and   watching   them   develop   into   intelligent,   young   adults   until   they   go   off   on   their next adventure

Prep 5 & 6 I chose to be a teacher because I love the feeling I get when I see that look on a child’s face when a certain topic or challenge that I have been teaching clicks with them. Helping a pupil to understand a complicated topic and expand their breadth of knowledge is something I have always found extremely rewarding. I also love how I can share my own passions with my pupils and inspire them to become passionate about things they love! Clarendon Cottage Prep School really does have a big family feel to it; the relationships between staff, children and parents make coming into work a real pleasure and something I always look forward to. It is also lovely to see how the children are all so close all the way throughout the school, not just in their individual year groups.

Prep 2 & 3/ SENCO Teaching is my absolute passion ! I love working with children as every day is certainly unique and special. I love meeting children with their individual personalities and learning styles and their families and becoming a part of their child’s learning journey. I feel privileged  to have a career where I can be creative and inspire children’s lifelong love of learning as my primary teachers did for me many years ago. I enjoy planning and delivering engaging lessons for children and waiting for that moment when they just ‘get it‘ and watching their eyes light up in absolute pride.
