About Me

I’m Louise and I’ve been a teacher for 30 years in a wide variety of settings. Literacy difficulties shouId not be a barrier and I’m determined to help all young people achieve their potential. I view education holistically and have always been involved in co-curricular activities such as music, D of E and sport as a way to embrace and enhance all theatres of learning. I aim to support all individuals to flourish, through nurturing their best attributes and empowering them with strategies to shine.
