I am a University of Brighton student on the PGCE Primary course, following the 5-11 route to QTS. My previous degree on the BA (Hons) Education course developed my interests around the education system – focusing on policy and practice. My current interests are around: Special Educational Needs (SEN) education and provisions; inclusive practice for all children; creativity within the classroom.

I feel passionate about teachers being facilitators of learning – enabling children to gain autonomy around their own learning and development. Children should be able to: explore; enquire; investigate; examine; analyse; research; and challenge the teaching and learning that is taking place.
