I have been a Senior Head of House for the last 16 years at Island School and a science teacher (Biology specialist) since joining the school in 1991.

In my role as Senior Head of House, I led a team of tutors and support staff in support of students from Y7 to Y13. I also had specific responsibilities for Y12, coordinating a team of specialist teachers and HE counselors to provide a PSHE programme and Higher Education counseling to this year group.

As a science teacher with specialism in Biology, I have taught science across all the year groups including MYP, IGCSE Biology, A level Biology and IB Biology and IB Environmental Systems and Societies.

My first teaching post was at Brampton Manor School, a 11-18 Mixed Comprehensive in the London Borough of Newham. I was there for 7 years and progressed to becoming the Second i/c Science and the Head of Biology. I taught science in Y7-9, GCSE Biology in Y10-11, and A level Biology in Y12-13. I was also the Assistant Head of Year 8 which gave me valuable experience of pastoral care.
