Early Years Peripatetic Teacher at Falkirk Council. All views are my own.
A fantastic time spent at Denny High School for their Careers event today. I had the opportunity to speak to many wonderful young people, educators and families about Early Years and Primary teaching. I look forward to welcoming more passionate young people into the sector in the next few years 🤩
