“I have been teaching for 11 years, including the last 6 at St James. Having grown up in the area, I feel very lucky to be able to work within the community, especially as St James is such a community-minded school. I also feel lucky because the children here are wonderful and make every day interesting and rewarding!”
I am from Greater Manchester. I have been a teacher in London for 9 years now and still feel inspired by teaching and learning every single day!
Trying new things is a passion of mine and I particularly adore exploring different places, cooking exciting foods and fully embracing new activities. One of my main goals as a teacher is
to encourage this zest for life in others, whilst also aiming to be the kind, compassionate and driven role model every child needs.
“I have taught at St James for almost 40 years now. It is the ethos of St James that inspires me. St James is based on the teaching that there is one Self, one consciousness which is the same in all. When this one Self or one consciousness in all is remembered, I have found that life is transformed and problems dissolve! My observation over the years is that with this teaching at its core, St James is a place where all can find great happiness and success.”
