Jane Simpkins
School Improvement Officer - Writing
I have been working in education for 30 years covering EYFS, KS1 and KS2 including over 12 years of experience as a year 6 teacher. Since 2012, I have been a moderator for the Local Authority including the Lead Moderator for KS2. I have also delivered training for the Local Authority. I joined Waterton Academy Trust in September 2014 taking on the leadership role for Writing.
I have always focused on building relationships with children: what makes them ‘tick’, what challenges they face and how to motivate them. It’s all about getting the children to realise their potential.
Waterton Academy Trust sets high standards for both teaching and expectations of our children. My role is to facilitate this and push for continuous improvement.
