Throughout my teaching career of six years, I have had the privilege of making a significant impact on the lives of students across a diverse range of age groups, including both Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. However, what truly sets me apart is the profound impact I have had during my tenure at a highly mobile and culturally diverse school in outer London. In this challenging environment, I encountered students with special educational needs (SEN), English as an Additional Language (EAL) needs, and socio-economic disadvantages. Recognizing the unique challenges they faced, I skillfully created inclusive classrooms that catered to their individual needs, resulting in a transformative impact on their academic progress and personal growth. By implementing innovative strategies to support language acquisition and fostering an environment conducive to learning, I not only witnessed remarkable improvements in their overall academic performance but also instilled within them a deep-seated passion for learning that will have a lasting impact on their educational journey.
Moreover, my leadership experience in subjects such as History, Geography, and RE has had a profound impact on both students and teachers. As a leader holding a TLR for these subjects, I embarked on a mission to revolutionize the assessment system, resulting in significant improvements in tracking student progress and providing targeted interventions. By introducing innovative assessment strategies, I ensured a comprehensive understanding of students' strengths and areas for development, enabling tailored instruction that maximized their potential.
Furthermore, I actively sought to enhance the subject knowledge of my colleagues by delivering workshops and insets on effective pedagogical approaches and curriculum design. By sharing best practices and collaborating on cross-curricular connections, I fostered a culture of continuous improvement among the staff. This led to enhanced subject cohesion, enriched learning experiences, and ultimately, a substantial impact on student's academic achievements.
By spearheading these curriculum development initiatives, I created an environment that encouraged critical thinking, and interconnectivity, and deepened students' understanding of the world around them. The transformative changes I orchestrated resulted in students developing a holistic perspective on their learning journey, making meaningful connections across subjects and embracing a broader worldview.
In collaboration with my colleagues, I facilitated a shift in teaching practices that empowered students to take ownership of their learning and develop the necessary skills to thrive in an ever-changing world. Through cross-curricular projects and interdisciplinary approaches, students experienced the subject matter in a relevant and engaging manner, igniting their curiosity and fostering a lifelong love for learning.
The impact of these initiatives extended beyond the classroom, creating a positive ripple effect throughout the entire school community. This included creating parent-led working groups, which offered unique insights and thoughts on our wider curriculum. These collaborative efforts contributed to fostering a dynamic and forward-thinking learning environment that not only prepared students for success in their academic journey but also equipped them for success beyond the classroom.
Currently, I am successfully navigating the unique challenges present in my Year 5 class, which comprises a diverse range of students with varying needs. Within this dynamic classroom, I am proud to support and foster the growth of three students with Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCP), each with significant learning gaps spanning from Year 5 all the way down to Reception. Additionally, I work diligently to meet the needs of all my pupils, 17 of whom are students with Special Educational Needs (SEN), ensuring they receive tailored support through adaptive teaching and scaffolding to help them thrive academically and personally.
Taking over the class halfway through the year due to maternity leave presented an additional challenge. Building strong bonds and establishing trust with the students was crucial in creating a positive and cohesive learning environment. Through perseverance and dedication, I worked tirelessly to forge meaningful connections with each student, acknowledging their individual strengths and providing the necessary support to bridge any learning gaps they may have encountered.
In this Church of England (C of E) school, I have wholeheartedly embraced my role as an educator, understanding the importance of nurturing not only academic growth but also the spiritual well-being of my students. By incorporating faith-based values into my lessons and promoting mutual respect, I have fostered an inclusive space where every student feels valued and supported on their educational journey. Celebrating curiosity and critical thinking, I have created an environment that encourages active participation, independent thought, and a genuine passion for learning.
Recognizing the importance of a safe and inclusive classroom, I have implemented strategies to ensure that all students feel respected, accepted, and heard. By fostering a sense of belonging, I have cultivated an environment where students are empowered to take risks, embrace challenges, and develop their full potential. I understand the significance of individualized support and differentiated instruction, tailoring my teaching approaches to meet the diverse needs of my students.
Despite the challenges posed by the unique composition of my class and the transition I faced, I remain committed to providing a high-quality education that empowers each student to succeed. By embracing their differences, addressing their individual needs, and fostering a supportive classroom community, I am proud to see the growth, progress, and confidence of my students.
Through my unwavering dedication, adaptability, and commitment to inclusive education, I strive to ensure that every student, regardless of their background or abilities, receives the nurturing environment and personalized support they deserve to thrive academically and holistically.
I am genuinely excited about the opportunity to contribute to the success of your school and look for
I look forward to hearing from you

My name is Rachael and I am a qualified primary teacher with 15 years’ experience. I have a passion for encouraging a love of learning. I believe that if a child enjoys what they are learning then they will be motivated to listen, participate and ultimately achieve. I have a wide variety of experience working with SEND children and I understand that not everyone learns in the same way. Teaching is about adapting your strategies to meet the needs of the individual. As a mum of two children with ASD I fully comprehend the stress and pressures that are put upon parents to engage their children in learning. Therefore, I strive to create an enjoyable learning environment for your child to achieve their full potential and motivate them to want to learn.
In addition to my work with SEND children I have a great deal of experience tutoring children in preparation for their exams, whether that is SATs or the 11+. I taught year 5 and 6 for many years and my subject knowledge is very up to date on exam questions and expectations, particularly in maths and science. Whether it is about building up confidence or honing in those exams techniques I would love to help.
