David's story

David, primary teacher
"I wanted to work in a caring environment where I could make a difference. What was supposed to be a career break as a learning support assistant turned into a passion for education and I was set on committing to this inspiring, rewarding and fulfilling career as a qualified teacher. Now that I have my own class, I’ve seen remarkable progress in every pupil, and it’s been a joy watching them flourish. When a child tells me how much they enjoyed a maths lesson, or that they want a challenge question I’m reminded that I’m in the right profession."
