    Senior Teacher (Communication, Language & Literacy, Early Years)

    Samantha

    I started teaching in 2010 after working with under 5s in a private nursery. Â I have worked in Key Stage 1 and 2 in mainstream schools and came to Castle Wood in 2018.

    At Castle Wood I teach one of our Reception classes and lead the Early Years team. Â Alongside this, I support other teams around the school to develop a child-led approach to teaching. Â I also lead the Communication, Language and Literacy faculty and am passionate about learning to read and learning through reading - however that might look for our children.

    I am passionate about treating children as individuals.  In Reception we believe that it is our job to know our children so well that we can join children in whatever play or activity they are engaged in and  bring their next steps to them, whether that be learning to ask for help, learning to self-regulate or learning to hold a pencil.

    At Castle Wood we are advocates for our children and I believe our role is to prepare them for the next stages of their lives. Â My aspiration for all of our children here is that they are able to engage in activities they enjoy and that support their development and independence. Â I believe that communication is key and we aim to build communication skills into everything we do in school.

    Â

    My favourite thing about working at Castle Wood is that every day is different and every day brings a new 'wow moment'. Â Â We get to know our children so well that we see every small step on their journey with us. Â Â

    Outside of school I am part of a netball club, enjoy watching my niece play football and am busy decorating my new house!
