Junior School

Message from the Head of School

As a former pupil of Rise Park Schools, my career aspiration has always been to give back to the community that made such a positive difference to my education, which fundamentally inspired me to become a teacher.

After completing a three year BA Honours Degree in Education in 2008, I went on to teach, firstly at a school in Loughton, and then at a school in Basildon. Alongside this, I carried out consultancy work for Essex County Council supporting schools that required improvement, as well as taking on the role of a Key Stage 2 writing moderator within the borough for a number of years.

Throughout my career, I have taken on a wide range of roles and responsibilities including the leadership of English, Assessment and PE as well as mentoring and inducting new teachers to the profession and have taught the whole range of Key Stage 2 year groups.

I was fortunate to join the team at Rise Park Junior School in 2013, taking on my first role as a Deputy Headteacher, and then subsequently being promoted to Head of School in 2017. During this time, I further widened my skills and professional development in 2015, where I completed a First Class Masters Degree in Education. 

It has been a privilege to be a part of the Rise Park community, and I am so proud of the journey the school has made since the time I started. The children are a true asset to the school and our dedicated and hardworking team of staff are a pleasure to work with.
