I have been the head of New Reflexions’ school since its origin in September 2008 and I am immensely proud of the vibrant learning community which it has become. More recently I have been delighted to oversee the expansion of the school to include a primary provision alongside the enlarged secondary provision. My role involves the day to day running of the school, liaising with a vast range of professionals who support our students, as well as welcoming new referrals and teaching. My best days are when I get to do fun activities with our students, especially if they are a little bit competitive!

We experience music in many different aspects of our daily lives and in turn many of the aspects of our daily lives are explained as part of the study of geography. I have a passion for teaching both of these subjects and much more besides. I look to encourage positivity, creativity and enthusiasm as part of the learning experience, allowing young people to explore their ideas and reach their full potential.

I have been working in education for over twenty years and have been a Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator in both specialist and mainstream settings. I am passionate about the importance of the wider curriculum, of social and personal development, alongside the academic curriculum to ensure all young people have the opportunity to reach their own individual potential.

In my spare time, I love to travel the world, and this is highlighted by the fact I have only recently moved to Shropshire from Brighton!

I am very excited to have the opportunity to be SENCO at The Henslow and Evolution Schools. I am looking forward to getting to know everyone and to start supporting the wide variety of personalised learning that I know goes on in the schools.
