Growing up, I have always been passionate about sport and physical activity and wanted to instil this in others. After studying Coaching, Sport and Exercise Science at Manchester Metropolitan University. I went on to complete my PGCE at Liverpool John Moores and took up my first teaching position at North Manchester High School for Girls. I have always been driven to provide opportunities outside the classroom to allow pupils to gain lifelong experiences, skills and memories. Previously, as Head of PE, I strived to ensure that the curriculum was broad so that pupils were given the opportunities to try a wide range of activities and extra-curricular clubs and trips and this has extended to my more senior roles within the academy. I am now proud to be Assistant Vice Principal for Behaviour and Attitudes and work closely with the pastoral teams to promote and recognise superb attitudes to learning so that pupils achieve excellence in all that they do in the academy and the wider community.
