My ambition to become a teacher began as a teenager when I supported my family friends’ children with their homework. This enabled me to realise that helping and supporting others to learn something they initially found challenging gave me a sense of pride and achievement. I have now worked at Pelham Primary School for 8 years and I thoroughly enjoy my job. I love the wide variety of experiences and opportunities that we are able to provide for all of our pupils; through trips, visitors and hands-on learning. Being able to spark enthusiasm about a variety of topics and encouraging our pupils’ inquisitive nature are also key elements of what I enjoy about teaching at Pelham Primary School.
