This year, I decided to book into summer courses based on some specific areas; leadership (I’ve been AP2 since 2021 and acted up as AP1 last year and DP this year), fine motor skills (particularly for middle/older classes so I can make practice a bit different, creative, fun, engaging and ‘grown up’) and gross motor skills (as teaching PE and specific gross motor/fundamental movement skills wouldn’t be my strongest area as a teacher). I’m looking forward to completing

In June 2025, I was asked to act up as Deputy Principal for the year. In June 2026, I took some time to reflect upon the year and what I’ve learned along the way.

I started this page to connect with and learn from other teachers.  As a teacher, I have always felt that the best CPD is often the teacher down the hallway who is really passionate about a particular aspect of teaching and learning. To me, Instagram felt like a whole new version of that; a place to find ideas, learn from others, and connect with people who I might never have been lucky to teach alongside and learn from in ‘real life’. 

Thank you to everyone who follows along, shares ideas, sends messages, and makes this such a positive space. I’m very grateful to have found this little corner of teacher Instagram. ✨

Thank you for being here 😊
