Fiona has been teaching in inner London schools for 19 years. This has provided her with comprehensive experiences in a wide range of roles and responsibilities including coordinator for Literacy and Art, English as an Additional Language (EAL) Specialist, Trainee and Newly Qualified Teacher (NQT) mentor, Key Stage leader, Phase leader and Senior Management. Against that background of studying and teaching in London, Fiona believes that London Met confidently prepares its wide range of trainee teachers to teach in and become part of London’s dynamic, super-diverse community, making a positive contribution to the education of children in London schools.
