✨ Time to introduce myself…
Hi everyone, I’m Katharine 👋 I’m currently a Head of Mathematics at a secondary school in Hertfordshire, where I lead teaching and learning across the department and specialise in supporting students to build confidence and achieve success in GCSE Maths, particularly those working towards a Grade 4/5. Alongside my role in school, I’m also studying for a Doctorate in Education (EdD), with my research focusing on how we can better support students to rebuild confidence and develop a positive identity in mathematics after experiencing difficulty. I’m really passionate about making maths feel more accessible and helping students realise they are capable of success.
I’ll be launching some new GCSE Maths courses in May 2026, designed to support students as they prepare for Year 11 and beyond, so keep your eyes peeled for more details coming soon 👀
