Ashley Kearsley Email and Phone Number

With 8 years of dedicated experience in classroom teaching and middle leadership, I am committed to fostering an environment where both pupils and staff thrive, grow, and unlock their full potential. Starting September 2024, I am excited to step into the role of Head of English in our Junior School, where I will continue to drive excellence in literacy and learning. My journey in teaching has been marked by a strong emphasis on developing children's reading and writing skills, a passion fueled by my completion of the National Professional Qualification for Leading Literacy (NPQLL).Throughout my career, I have enjoyed integrating my personal interests in sports, music and exploring into my teaching methodology, offering diverse opportunities for children to explore, discover themselves, and excel. I firmly believe in high expectations for behavior and am proactive in eliminating barriers to ensure every child succeeds.My experience spans working in socio-economically deprived areas, where I embraced the challenge of creating impactful learning experiences under challenging circumstances. This journey has now taken me to a private school in Dubai, where I am gaining new skills and insights, working with a diverse cohort of children from around the world.I am passionate about education and committed to continuous learning and improvement, striving to inspire and support every individual I work with to become better learners and individuals.
