Katherine Clare

Assistant Headteacher (Head of Upper School) and MIT Lead

I graduated from the University of Derby in 2004 with a Batchelor of Education in Primary teaching and have ten years of successful and dynamic classroom teaching across a range of ages and abilities.  After leaving university, I taught at a lovely school in Watford for nine years where I was able to develop as an educator and build great relationships with the pupils and families attending the school.  As I developed my skills as a teacher I was given more responsibility and was asked to become part of the Senior Leadership Team.  After completing a masters level course to become a maths specialist teacher, and as an outstanding practitioner,  I was asked to work part time as a seconded maths teaching and learning advisor for the Local Education Authority.  My most recent post was in a private school in Buckinghamshire, which was a fantastic experience in an incredible school.

I truly love my job.  I am excited to join Nord Anglia Education as I want to be part of an education system which is completely child centred and focuses fully on the learning and enables children to develop fully.  I want to provide an education which builds knowledge, provides exceptional experiences, develops confidences and responsibilities and enable children to become independent learners and thinkers.

What the students say about me

"Miss Clare makes all lessons fun, even maths!" 

"I used to find literacy really hard but Miss Clare helped me and now I can do it much better and I don’t need as much help."  

"You are kind, and funny and my favourite teacher especially when you get excited about the things we do." 

"Sam really enjoyed being in your class and that is down to your way of teaching, enthusiasm and positive attitude.  Thank you for being such a lovely teacher to our child." 

Why is the School different to others you have worked in?

This School is different to all others I have worked at because it’s in the middle of the most amazing city on earth.  It has an incredible outlook on education and children’s learning and provides excellent experiences.
