Profile:

I have been a teacher of History for 3 years having worked previously with SEN pupils in mainstream education and special provisions. I graduated from the University of Nottingham in Politics in 2014 and went on to complete my PGCE at the University of Birmingham in 2019. I have also recently completed my masters, also at Birmingham, looking into the impacts of Covid lockdowns on pupil happiness and engagement. In my time at my current school I have worked to identify and prevent homophobic incidents. Through this project I hope to collect data on the prevalence of these incidents and the potential culture surrounding homophobia in school. Using this data we can implement new policies in September to tackle these issues and make the school a more inclusive place for all pupils.
