Alix McTaminey - Parent and Teacher

“Kim has in-depth knowledge and understanding of Primary aged teaching and learning across project-based learning and within subject specialist areas. She has worked with a wide range of pupils who have had their unique and individual needs and has responded to them sensitively and professionally enabling them all to access a curriculum that is suitable for their developmental stage. She has an extraordinary capacity for learning, creating and pedagogy. She is an exceptional teacher and colleague, who can manage many diverse projects beyond the classroom. For instance, she completed an MA while preparing a new curriculum for key stage one and two; prepared and delivered an inspirational presentation at the school’s AGM; visited a school in Denmark, which was a part of a wider piece of research the school was undertaking and presented her findings to parents. Kim is the epitome of reliability. She meets deadlines, is honest and trustworthy, professional, exudes warmth and is approachable. She is empathetic, reading people and emotions well and she is sensitive to students and colleagues alike. She is focused and self-directed but also able to ask for advice when working on new ideas, showing brilliant team work and collaboration. Kim is an asset and those working with her will benefit from her wide range of knowledge, humility and great sense of fun when learning“
