Anthony Alexander-Omoh Email and Phone Number

I am a naturally warm, passionate, enthusiastic and welcoming person, which are essential qualities in any role supporting children and even more so in the role of a Learning Mentor. Over the past few years I have gained vast experience in supporting children and families from differing backgrounds with varying needs. By continuing to learn and develop my ability to be warm and approachable I have been able to develop and maintain effective relationships with the pupils, families and staff that I support. Part of my role as a Head of Pastoral Care involves me working with children in a variety of different ways to support and encourage them to overcome barriers to learning, to be engaged in their learning and to build positive relationships with both adults and children.I support children with challenges to overcome any barriers they may have to their learning. I work with teaching staff as well as families to help them to develop strategies to support children who may have challenging behaviour. As Head of Pastoral care I lead a pastoral team who work with Teachers and pupils supporting them with interventions, in class support, motivation as well as strategies to effectively support the children in our school. As part of the school leadership team I collaborate with the other members of the team to develop and maintain strategies to help our school to continue to improve and develop.I work alongside the school sports coaches to run sports clubs within the school. I also run after school clubs that help children to develop their social skills as well as develop positive relationships with other adults and children. To continue to develop positive working relationships with parents and carers, I have a weekly drop in session where Parents and Carers can drop in to discuss any difficulties they may be facing. We work together to formulate strategies to move forward and to better support the children.
