My name is Andy, and I am a 30 year old from Cardiff. I was born and raised in the small village of Pentyrch, seven miles outside of the capital, along with seven other siblings and four dogs, but currently live in the Roath area. I have always been an animal lover, and I enjoy spending time with and walking the dogs when visiting family, as well as playing and watching football, playing and listening to music, and travelling around the world when I get a chance. 2306499 https://padlet.com/2306499/cbwh1e8bf147tea3/wish/2685570955 2023-09-05 21:21:22 UTC https://padlet.com/2306499/cbwh1e8bf147tea3/wish/2685570955 I attended Pentyrch Primary School for my early education, and The Bishop of Llandaff High School for my secondary. I achieved grades of A*-B in my chosen subjects of Music, History, French and German at GCSE level, as well as compulsory subjects such as Maths, English, Welsh, RE, IT and Science, as well as B and C grades in Music, English and History for my A levels. I continued to study Music at Bath Spa University and completed a BA (Hons) degree, graduating in 2014. 2306499 https://padlet.com/2306499/cbwh1e8bf147tea3/wish/2685588008 2023-09-05 21:48:35 UTC https://padlet.com/2306499/cbwh1e8bf147tea3/wish/2685588008 I have been working as a teaching assistant in a medium-sized, mixed secondary school until this summer, having done so for six years. In my time at this school, I have supported many children with ALN over a large age range, including a year as a one-to-one LSA . I also took on a mentoring role, having weekly catch-ups with children, as well as delivering piano sessions to those unable to afford private lessons. I have spent some time in a primary school previously, and loved the experience. 2306499 https://padlet.com/2306499/cbwh1e8bf147tea3/wish/2685596937 2023-09-05 22:02:01 UTC https://padlet.com/2306499/cbwh1e8bf147tea3/wish/2685596937 2306499 https://padlet.com/2306499/cbwh1e8bf147tea3/wish/2685604822 2023-09-05 22:16:13 UTC https://padlet.com/2306499/cbwh1e8bf147tea3/wish/2685604822 2306499 https://padlet.com/2306499/cbwh1e8bf147tea3/wish/2685606395 2023-09-05 22:18:46 UTC https://padlet.com/2306499/cbwh1e8bf147tea3/wish/2685606395 I aspire to be a teacher that makes every child in the class feel comfortable and safe, and would love to be seen as a mentor figure for anyone looking for advice, support or guidance, regardless of the circumstance. I would like to inspire future generations to become independent yet also team players, as well as aiming to bring out their creative side. I believe that every child matters, and no one in the classroom should be left behind, no matter their gender, race, ability or background. 2306499 https://padlet.com/2306499/cbwh1e8bf147tea3/wish/2685607753 2023-09-05 22:21:01 UTC https://padlet.com/2306499/cbwh1e8bf147tea3/wish/2685607753 2306499 https://padlet.com/2306499/cbwh1e8bf147tea3/wish/2685611750 2023-09-05 22:28:46 UTC https://padlet.com/2306499/cbwh1e8bf147tea3/wish/2685611750
