Working with Schools and Kids
I have a first-class bachelor's degree from Lancaster University and a PGCE from the University of Cumbria. I hold qualified teacher status; I am DBS checked and registered with the update service. I have experience working with children from 4 to 17 through schools, scouting and the Lancashire Youth Challenge. I love sharing knowledge and significantly support the experiential learning paradigm. Children learning with me will have a lot of fun and retain a high percentage of input. I have experience working with children with additional needs and am always happy to adapt sessions. When working in a school setting, I am very good at making cross-curricular links. The two sessions listed below are tried and tested; however, I am always happy to develop new sessions to match your requirements and the children's learning journey.
