As a result, I aim to create meticulously detailed, vibrant and stimulating resources that foster students' independence and creative thinking, allowing them to make excellent progress as a result.

A challenging, rigorous and detailed unit focused upon Shelagh Delaney's charming 1950s play 'A Taste of Honey'!
