Primary Maths

I am currently a Primary School teacher and Primary English Lead at an all-through school in East London. I have worked with pupils across the whole of Key Stage 2 and have particularly enjoyed the coverage of lesson topics and pedagogical insight that this has offered. My favourite part of the job is seeing pupils’ characters grow as they progress through their school career.

Secondary English

I am an English teacher and Vice Principal in Norwich. I have been teaching in schools across London and Norfolk for over ten years, and have taught both primary and secondary. I’m also a curriculum specialist and have spent the last three years leading on curriculum across a multi-academy trust. When I’m not teaching, I can usually be found curled up with a book or playing with my Labrador puppy, who is not quite as interested in reading as I am!

Primary Maths

Living in London, I am an Associate Assistant Head working to improve the quality of teaching across four primaries, and streamline the year 6/7 transition in mathematics at one secondary school, in Surrey. As a trained Mastery Specialist Teacher and accredited Professional Development Lead, I also work with the London South West Maths Hub using effective models of professional development to facilitate improving teaching and learning in mathematics across their region. In all aspects of my work, I strive to achieve a judgement-free working culture within which teachers are enabled to be brave risk takers.

Secondary Spanish

After graduating from the University of Birmingham with a BA in Hispanic Studies and Music, I worked as a tour manager and a translator before completing my PGCE. I have worked in schools in London but now teach both secondary and primary aged pupils in Cambridgeshire. The best part of learning languages is developing a deeper understanding of other cultures and being able to eavesdrop without people realising! I love seeing my pupils grow in confidence and realise how many opportunities speaking a foreign language brings you.

Secondary Geography

I am currently a teacher in a secondary school in Barnsley. I am originally from Stoke-on-Trent but moved to Sheffield when I went to university. My passion for geography began in school and this is something I hope to pass on to my students so that they have the same love for geography that I do.

Secondary History

Hello, I’m Alex Benger and I teach History. When I’m not thinking about history curriculum design, you’ll probably find me watching football or cooking my famous triple-cooked chips.

Secondary Physics

I have a PhD in surface Physics from the University of Warwick. I have been teaching science for eight years and am currently Head of Science at a school in Northampton. Highlights of my career so far have included taking students to NASA and CERN and successfully applying to become a lead educator for the National Space Academy. I am a keen cyclist, guitar and chess player. I am proud to have been asked to take part in this project and I look forward to helping schools and students at this difficult time.

Mr Ward

Mr Ward

Primary Maths

Hello Everyone! I’m an experienced Primary school teacher and school mathematics subject leader situated in Surrey. I absolutely love teaching in primary school education and seeing the lightbulb moments that children experience. Mathematics just gains the edge over history in terms of my favourite subject to teach. During maths lessons, I encourage the use of concrete resources and pictorial representations....bar models are a thing of absolute beauty! Away from the classroom, I am an avid lover of both cricket and hiking. Getting out in the great outdoors is almost as exhilarating as switching on the visualiser and drawing bar models!

Secondary Religious Education

I’ve enjoyed being an R.S and Philosophy teacher for 10 years at a school in Tunbridge Wells. I graduated from the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne in 2009 with a degree in Philosophy. Outside of teaching I enjoy cooking, running, playing the piano and trying to keep up with politics.

Secondary English

Even as a young child, I always said I wanted to be a teacher. So, I’m incredibly lucky to have been doing a job I love for over 20 years now. I’m Head of English at a school in Bradford now and have been here since I started teaching in 1997. Before becoming a teacher I studied English Literature at Cambridge University before returning home to Bradford and working for a while in the NHS as a medical secretary. When I’m not in my classroom I like to travel and read.... no surprise with that last one! I’m also an Assistant Principal Examiner so that keeps me quite busy in the summer months.
