I always enjoyed PE in school whether it was learning in a classroom or taking part in active sessions. When I had the opportunity to do teaching like this for a job I couldn’t turn it down as I always enjoyed helping out with the younger students with their PE lessons at school andnow I’m loving every minute of it.

My favourite sport is football, I’ve watched and played it my whole life and have been a season ticket holder at Peterborough United for the last 6 years. The best game I’ve ever watched live in those 6 years was when we scored a 90th minute penalty against Lincoln to draw 3-3 securing us promotion to the Championship.

This is my first time exclusively teaching PE, as I have previously been a year 4 classroom teacher in Cambridge. I love all sports and hope I can instill the love of sport into the children at Winyates so that they feel confident and enthusiastic about PE. My favourite sport is football and I play for Camborne Town FC, which recently won grassroots club of the year.

I have been teaching at Winyates Primary School since 2011 and thoroughly enjoy seeing the progress our children make. I have a real passion for PE and believe these are so important for all children and I am keen in developing a love of this in everyone I teach. In addition to this, I especially enjoy taking the children to tournaments where they always make me proud.

Finally, my love of sport continues outside of school where I play for the City of Peterborough Hockey Club.
