Leadership
Developed and led the delivery of new departmental strategies and schemes of work by 3 other RS specialists’ and a HLTA. Mentored NQT’s. The role of Head of Department has seen me develop into an assertive leader who is able to adapt, appease and when needed address problems head on i. e. I led the department through a complete redesign of Curriculum and developed the materials and resources to ease this change along. This has also involved delegating some tasks, setting deadlines and monitoring progress. Introduced and lead the whole school focus of monitoring and evidencing SMSC across the school which involves leading whole staff training and communicating new ideas and initiatives.
