What is your role at Concord School?
Classroom Teacher Secondary 9/10
Provide us with a ‘snapshot’ into your daily routine at Concord School:
I arrive at about 8 to set up the classroom and get on top of emails and planning. The gang arrive at 9 and we usually begin with reading and writing. We get the writing out of the way early.The middle periods are usually something fun like electives or STEAM or social comp. After lunch we watch 10 minutes of a National Geographic documentary to chill out a bit and we end the day with maths or integrated studies as the students seem to be most engaged with those ones - even if we all a little tired by then!

I love everyone at Concord school and I love that the students are so accepting and empathetic with each other.
