He has had a number of roles including Early Years Lead, Maths Lead and Computing Lead. Simon is passionate about children’s play, using these opportunities for learning, based on the children’s interests. He prides himself on facilitating an inclusive approach in his classes through movement, behavior support and a neuroaffiriming philosophy.
