About

Prior to my work with SHU, I worked in a number of Primary schools in England including schools in Birmingham, Nottinghamshire, Peterborough and Sheffield. I have taught across the whole Primary and Early Years range.

I was a Primary Head Teacher in Nottinghamshire.

I also held the role of SENCO.

I teach on a variety of Primary and Early Years Education modules and lead on EAL.  As partnership co-ordinator, I liaise with students, staff and outside agencies in a number of different areas.

I teach on a variety of modules such as inclusion, EAL, Science and RE. I am currently year 3 leader for the Primary and Early Years BA course.
