I teach English Language and Literature in a secondary school in the north west of England. My school is a comprehensive school and I teach across Key Stages 3 to 5. I’m fortunate to work as part of a great departmental team and currently have the role of Acting Curriculum Leader for English.
I have recently completed a term as Progress Leader for Year 12. Pastoral leadership was a challenge. It gave me an insight into a completely different side of school life.
Teaching is my second career, having first had a foray into the world of fashion retail management via HR and Corporate Training. I love what I now do and am looking to improve my practice every day.
My blog is a personal one: these are my thoughts and not that of my department or my school.

Hey, we are pretty similar! I’m at a Catholic comp too (having moved there from the private sector after 6 years in it) and teach English. Thanks for following me on Twitter. I’m a bit erratic on it, to be honest – you know how it is. I was a medical secretary before I trained to teach (at 40!) Nice to meet you.
Great to be virtually acquainted! I’ve found some fantastic subject and general pedagogical support on Twitter. It’s always useful for finding inspiration!
