HAT school and current role:

Hampton Lakes Primary School Class Teacher for Year 4/5, Maths Subject Leader

Areas of educational expertise and experience:

Primary/all-through

Jack worked at Hampton College Primary Phase for five years and taught in Key Stage One and Upper Key Stage Two. He was involved in opening the Upper Key Stage Two phase of the school, helping to plan and deliver the first ever year 5 and 6 curriculum.
Last year, he worked a Peterborough secondary school and was involved in planning and teaching a curriculum based around expeditionary learning for their first ever Year 7 cohort. He was involved in planning and teaching all subjects across the KS3 curriculum based around expeditions, that each had a guiding question.
Jack was also involved in the delivery of ‘CREW’ each morning which was an alternative approach to providing mentor/tutor time.
This year, Jack is teaching a mixed Year 4/5 class and helping develop the Maths curriculum at Hampton Lakes Primary. Having predominantly worked in Upper Key Stage Two, he is particularly interested in the transition between KS2 and KS3 and how we can best prepare students for their arrival into Year 7.
