Head of Key Stage 3
I am delighted to have joined Wisdom Bridge International School this year as Head of Key Stage 3. I started my teaching career in 1994, with 16 years of teaching in schools in England and the other 16 in a range of international schools in Kuwait, Egypt, France, and Myanmar. It has been a privilege to be able to work in the Primary, Secondary and Tertiary phases KS1 – KS5. During my career, I have held a wide range of leadership and pastoral roles, including Head of Languages, Deputy Director of Tertiary Education (Years 12–13), Head of Phase, Head of Year 6, Head of House, Community Liaison Leader and the subject lead for Humanities, Maths and English. I strongly believe that students develop immensely through opportunities beyond the classroom, and I look forward to encouraging our KS3 students to seize the numerous opportunities on offer, getting involved in their wider school community whenever they can. My career has enabled me to lead and support activities such as school choirs, junk bands, talent shows, whole-school family events, school themed learning weeks, Parent Teacher Associations and many school community fundraisers. My family home is in a large village in Devon, where I enjoy time with my husband, who has worked for many years as a Secondary Music teacher. We have two children who have both recently begun their university studies in London and Cardiff. Beyond teaching I have always been very actively involved in my local community through voluntary roles. I have been a volunteer leader with Girlguiding for over 38 years, and I also enjoy walking and travelling—exploring different cultures and traditions whenever possible. It will be a real honour to work with our KS3 students encouraging them to become independent learners, critical thinkers, and confident risk-takers. I am committed to helping every student achieve their true potential, while developing a deeper understanding of the world around them and their place within it now and in the future.
