Arden Academy

I am delighted to be completing my ITT-PGCE year (leading to QTS) at the University of Warwick with Arden Academy being my host training school. This follows my previous teaching experience at KS3 & KS4 levels in mathematics and religious education at Park Hall Academy where I taught as part of my role(s) for five years as a non-qualified teacher whilst I completed my BSc (Hons) Mathematics and its Learning degree with the Open University.

Park Hall Academy

With my non-qualified teaching allocation increasing and a change of pastoral structure within the academy, I was promoted to the teaching position of Deputy Head of Upper School. I carried out this middle leadership role whilst also discharging the duties of ‘Staff Attendance & Absence Officer’ and ‘DofE Manager’.This role was similar to my existing role as KS4 Progress Leader in the sense that I had direct involvement with academic interventions and behaviour management strategies of students in Y10 and Y11. However, I now had more involvement with attendance and I actively participated in the weekly SMPTF meetings (Senior-Management-Team-Progress-Forum) where we focussed on the operational and strategic leadership of the Y11 cohort. This was an incredibly rewarding role to fulfil. I left this role to accept my DfE-ITT Mathematics Scholarship and Postgraduate offer at the University of Warwick.

Park Hall Academy

I had the pleasure of primarily working at Park Hall Academy as both the Progress Leader for KS4 (Years 10 & 11) and as a Mathematics practitioner for KS3. The core aspect of my pastoral role required me to analyse assessment data for our KS4 students before deciding which students need extra interventions/support in order for them to obtain their target grades and either reach or exceed their academic potential.Alongside my core roles as a member of the pastoral team I also had an extensive secondary role that focuses on the discipline/behaviour of our students which I carried out both alone and alongside our Heads of Year. Together, as HOY & PL we formed a strong Pastoral team that was highly effective and efficient in supporting our students throughout their journey at Park Hall Academy.Additional Responsibilities: - Duke of Edinburgh Award Manager- Staff Attendance & Absence Officer- Deputy Cover Coordinator- Yearbook & Commemorative items Coordinator

Solihull

During my time at Tactile Technology I enjoyed many varying roles. Initially I started as an Inside Sales Executive working hard on the phones before progressing into Marketing. I was accountable for the marketing budget, creation/distribution of the company's campaigns as well as managing the corporate brand.

492 (Solihull) Squadron Atc

As a member of 492 Solihull Squadron I had the opportunity to undertake many life changing experiences which enabled me to grow and develop into the person I am today. I overcame countless challenges which lead to me reaching the most senior position available - Cadet Warrant Officer, where on average 80-100 cadets were under my supervision at any one time. The Air Training Corps took me to varying parts of England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Gibraltar, Spain and France during my six years spent in the organisation.My Highlights:Academic:- BTEC in Aviation Studies 2014- BTEC in Public Services 2015- BTEC in Teamwork and Personal Development in the Community 2015- Achieved Classification: Master Air Cadet 2014- Achieved Instructor Cadet Status 2015Duke of Edinburgh Awards:- Gold DofE Award 2015- Silver DofE Award 2013- Bronze DofE Award 2012Shooting/Marksmanship:- No.8 .22 Wing Shooting Champions 2016 (Team Captain)- No.8 .22 Wing Best Individual Shot 2016 (Individual)- L98a2 5.56mm Wing Shooting Champion (Sqn Ldr Martin Cup) 2015 (Individual)- Region Marksman Award 2016 (Individual)- Wing Marksman Award 2015 (Individual)- Squadron Marksman Award 2012 (Individual)- C&E Regional Shooting Team (Winners) 2014 (Team Member)Special Individual Awards and Achievements:- Promoted to Cadet Warrant Officer (CWO) 2016- 492 Sqn Non-Commissioned-Officer of the Year 2015- IACE Ambassador to France 2015 - JNCO Best in Syndicate Award (Leadership Course) 2012W&BW Wing and C&E Regional Sporting Representations:- Regional Shooting Team 2014 [Team Captain] [Winners]- Wing Shooting Team 2014,15,16- Wing Drill Team 2013,14,16- Wing Athletics Team 2011,12,14,15- Wing Football Team 2011 [Winners]
