I’ve been at Dallington for 3 years, and I love the philosophy of teaching here: learning starts and ends with the children. Dallington is such a wholesome environment where creativity and love of learning can flourish without pressure or restraints. Teachers here are trusted to teach in ways they feel best suit their children. I want to instil a love of learning and especially a love of literature in the children I teach. I love those lightbulb moments when children suddenly get what you have been teaching them.
For relaxation I am an avid reader but luckily I have a train commute where I can get a lot of this done.
Reading is a form of escapism for me and helps me switch off and relax at the end of the day. It actually helps my job as English lead as I love Children’s literature and seeing which books will best suit each class.
