"When we opened Edward Jenner School in 2013 I had no idea that each day would be so interesting and fulfilling. I consider myself honoured to work with such a dedicated staff and with such interesting and wonderful young people. When children at our school are feeling safe enough to say “I can’t do that yet” I know EJS is ‘making learning happen’."

"I work patiently with individual children uncovering misunderstanding and rebuilding their learning. I love it when children make progress."

"I have a background in Nuclear Physics and a former Head of Physics and Year 12. The school continually inspires me! The children are absolutely wonderful and a pleasure to teach. I also used to look after animals in a safari park. I am interested in inspiring future engineers."

"I care passionately about young people’s well-being, ensuring children feel safe and can learn well. I am a problem solver around the school."

"My aim is to help students develop a love for learning and provide an environment where they experience both a high level of challenge and care."

"I bring an enthusiastic and caring approach to supporting pupils with their learning of Maths, English and activity afternoons."

"My main role is to support, guide and inform families through the admissions process from their initial enquiry to the first day of enrolment. I find my role hugely rewarding and enjoyable and no 2 days are the same! I love watching our young people flourish in our EJS community and see them achieving their goals. I also support the SENCo team with the administrative aspects which has been a really interesting and rewarding aspect of my role."

"It continues to be a pleasure to teach young people, to take a part in their learning and expansion of their ideas about the world. By virtue of the pupils I teach I am very pleased to still be a learner."

"I dedicate my time to personalised teaching and learning to enthuse young scientists."

"I love working throughout the school and celebrating all the little wins with each pupil, as they continue on their own individual pathway and grow with confidence. I believe all pupils can thrive with the right support and work to ensure I am giving everything I can to make this happen."

"I am very experienced and enjoy working with children encouraging and supporting their learning."

"After adapting my learning throughout my school life for my dyslexia and ADHD, it is of the utmost importance that now as a teacher I am in an environment that allows me to tailor my teaching to the specific needs of all pupils in the classroom. This is exactly what EJS does. The flexibility and willingness of teachers to adapt was key to my learning whilst in school, and I am thankful and glad to be able to do this for my students. I also strive to pass on my enthusiasm for learning and love for the humanities as I feel deeply that an understanding of humanities changes the way in which students perceive and understand the world around them. "

"I help the students change in the way they wish, and help them to go in a direction they want to go."

"I enjoy working at EJS as it is a calming atmosphere for the students that attend the school. I feel that EJS offer a range of support to meet the students needs throughout all subjects that are offered. I have not been here long and I have been enjoying learning about EJS and working with the students."

"I work with precision and consideration for the individual, structuring my teaching to thoroughly prepare ach student for English language and Literature iGCSE. I love working with students to write, rehearse and perform the school play. LAMDA sessions on Friday involve rehearsing and supporting acting exams as an optional course for those students who feel for drama as I do."

"It's a privilege to offer young people space to reflect on their thoughts, feelings and ways to solve challenges they encounter. This work is strongly supported by the staff team which means children feel safe to try out their solutions in everyday school situations, enabling them to grow in their confidence and develop vital skills for life."

"I am here to help the school run efficiently and effectively to alleviate the pressure from the teaching staff, so they are able to fully focus on providing the best education to our pupils."

"My role at EJS is to support all the children and staff in all manner of projects. If they have a query, I will always try to solve it!"

"I have worked with children and young people for over 30 years now and count it a privilege to do so. I firmly believe that those (CYP and adults alike) who work and learn in an environment where they feel safe because kindness 'reigns'...thrive. This is my passion and why I do what I do!"

"I am excited to be part of the team at Edward Jenner School with my experience as a mentor to help support pupils with their learning to gain the confidence to achieve their full potential."

"I am glad to be a part of Edward Jenner School. I enjoy the working environment and am passionate about helping children with different set needs to achieve their full potential."

"I care greatly about every child in our school. I work tirelessly to ensure children learn optimally both through focussed and flexible learning tasks and by feeling truly happy with who they are."

"I have enjoyed developing remote learning supporting those students who learn best at home. I am interested in personalising my teaching to inspire future scientists."

"Even though I predominantly work with year 11 preparing them for exams and focussed portfolio work, I try to ensure I get to know pupils well. I want to be approachable and supportive so that when students reach year 10 and 11 I can help make the exams a less daunting prospect."

"As a new employee I am enjoying learning the unique way that EJS works with and supports the young people around the school."

"I am an HCPC-registered Art Psychotherapist and I love working with young people. I taught in secondary education for over two decades in both London and Gloucestershire as an Art, Photography and Design Technology teacher and Head of Faculty until I retrained as a therapist. This allowed me to focus on the aspect of working in schools that I really enjoy: advocating for young people. I practise integrative existential Psychotherapy; which means I shape my practice to suit my client and I am always looking for the big themes in our lives such as love, a sense of purpose, coping with death and making difficult choices."

"I provide one to one support for Year 10 and 11 students, preparing them for their exams. I really enjoy working with them and helping them achieve the best results they can. I also support the Exams Officer with moderating for ASDAN."

"I am a kind and patient teacher, adaptable to the children’s needs in the classroom. I am a maths specialist, who also enjoys the breadth of topics I get to teach at EJS. The best part of my job is the shared pride when a child solves a challenging problem."
