Deputy Head Teacher at Rainham School for Girls and Regional Lead for TKAT ACE Pupil Premium Programme.

Giving a child a 'champion' - someone who 'has their back', works with them and their family to diagnose their barriers and set ambitious yet incremental targets - is a real passion of mine and a key way we can make a difference to the lives of the young people we serve in education. 

I have worked at Rainham School for Girls for over 13 years and work collaboratively with TKAT schools across Thanet, Medway and Kent, including Smarden and Pluckley. I studied French and German at The University of Nottingham and have a PGCE in Secondary Education and an NPQSL. 

I am excited about the growth and development of the TKAT ACE Programme as it continues to make a real difference to the young people in our #oneTKATfamily.

Having spoken at Pupil Premium Conferences and worked on Sec Ed podcasts for pupil premium and wellbeing, I am looking forward to working with our new schools outside of TKAT who are joining the TKAT ACE Family.  

In this episode we discuss excellent Pupil Premium practice and offer practical tips and ideas for how schools and teachers can support their most disadvantaged pupils, including a focus on attendance, Pupil Premium strategies, and effective interventions.
