I am an English Teacher at an SEMH secondary school. My resources cover a wide range of key stages and abilities to cater for the complex needs of my students. Often my resources will be designed to appeal to older students with a lower ability content, but they still work well for younger students also. I have a big interest in Phonics, low ability resources with a high interest level for older students, creating useful displays and making stickers to aid in my marking.

I am the qualified Access Arrangements Assessor for my school, additionally, I have responsibility for applying for any access arrangements, creating the folder of evidence to support the application, and speaking with the JCQ Inspector during their annual visit.
I always receive compliments from the JCQ inspectors on my record keeping, so I thought this would be a useful resource to share with others.

Additionally I have included:
