A New Chapter in the Never Ending Story of English

Congratulations to MISs Oliver!

Having worked at Cardinal Langley for the past six years, I am delighted to take up the post of Subject Leader of English after the Easter holiday. It has been a privilege to work under the direction of Mrs Woodcock and I will be saddened to say goodbye to somebody that has been a huge influence in my teaching career to date. However, I am excited to continue our journey together as a team as she leaves us to take a new route on hers.

The children of Cardinal Langley leave school with excellent results in English – and this isn’t by accident. I am very proud to work with a team so hard-working, enthusiastic, dynamic and supportive, and I am looking forward to building on our successes and strengths, taking the subject forward ahead of curriculum and assessment changes, during the coming years. I have incredible passion for teaching and nothing pleases me more than helping young people recognise their potential. English has so many benefits for the lives of our children: to foster a love of learning; ignite a passion for words; to aim high and dream big and most importantly, to help them be amazing people – the very best that they can be – so that they live wonderful and happy lives after their time in education at Cardinal Langley.

We are part of a very special community here: I feel incredibly fortunate to be taking up this post, knowing that my future years at Cardinal Langley will continue to give me the opportunity to do the best work that I can for our children in Middleton.
