My first experience of teaching was in our family-run summer school as a teenager. Since then, after completing my PGCE in 2011, I have taught in vibrant and diverse schools across London, each one offering me new and exciting challenges. I have taught across the key stages, led a variety of subjects and led a Year 2 team. Teaching children with a wide range of needs has shown me the importance of planning purposeful, inclusive and creative learning opportunities.

I believe that fostering confidence, resilience and curiosity is essential to prepare children to be successful, lifelong learners. Nothing gives me more pleasure than instilling a love of learning in a child and witnessing their confidence blossom. I am passionate about helping children grow into responsible world citizens, who engage with nature and understand the importance of living sustainably.

ABOUT MRS REDMAN

With 2 young daughters, my time outside the classroom is mostly spent running around after them. We love going on adventures and exploring new places, be it a beach, town or castle. If I have a rare moment to myself, you can find me enjoying the peace and quiet of my garden, watering my plants or getting lost in a book.
