Achievement & Intervention

Welcome to the Achievement Team our focus is ensuring that student achievement is the best it can be!

We believe that every student can and should achieve their full potential. We realise that students will need support and intervention to ensure they do so, and we are here to remove academic barriers to learning so that they can achieve their full potential through the provision of academic support outside of their usual lessons.

From mentoring programmes and tuition opportunities, to homework support and access to academic trips and visits, the Achievement Team is all about giving every single student an opportunity to thrive and feel successful.

We love to promote learning outside of the classroom and give students the opportunity to connect their in-school learning to the bigger picture, whether through universities, work sectors or guest speakers.

I have been a teacher of science at Whickham School since 2009. Before I took on this role, I worked in the Pastoral Team for 7 years. I am excited to lead a team fully committed to ensuring all pupils achieve the best they possibly can and helping develop strong attitudes to learning across the school.

I have been lucky to have had a number of responsibilities at Whickham School for the last 8 years (including teaching, pastoral and academic coordination), but being part of the Achievement Team brings new, fresh and exciting challenges that will help shape our school culture in positive and interesting ways.
