I started my teaching journey at Chipping Campden School in 2012 as an English trainee, and have happily remained ever since.

The continuous support from the leadership team and the wider school body have been instrumental in shaping my teaching style and technique. I am constantly challenged to improve and refine my practice, and have been given the necessary tools to achieve this. The school have been incredibly supportive of my professional development, allowing me to complete various qualifications as part of my CPD. These opportunities have been pivotal in my growth as an educator, and are indicative of how much Chipping Campden School values their staff. The professional growth programme is supportive, and staff are given autonomy over their own development targets with support and feedback from line managers, SLT, and other members of their team. 

Students at Chipping Campden School are polite and kind; they genuinely look out for one another. While no school is without its challenges, our students are a remarkable group, often going above and beyond in areas they’re passionate about- something that is regularly celebrated by individual staff and the leadership team. Their passions are encouraged to develop outside as well as inside the classroom, and one thing I love about our school is the variety of extra-curricular activities offered to students. There are so many opportunities to develop positive relationships with the student body, and these are a great way to also foster relationships with staff outside of your own faculty. 

I am proud to be part of Chipping Campden School, where the teaching staff as well as the students are inspired and empowered to excel, and I look forward to many more years of growth and development.
