      Managing the staff involved in their roles as supervisors, and managing the transition to the IBDP new's curriculum. Ensuring that students were equipped the research skills to attain top marks and approach their topics in original and thoughtful ways. I led a team of up to fourteen teachers, devising and implementing a dynamic curriculum. I was in charge of developing a school-wide strategy focussed on raising awareness of TOK among non-TOK teachers, and how best to integrate the IBDP core into group 1-6 curricula. I devised and implemented successful and challenging IBDP music curricula, and taught iGCSE and GCSE music alongside KS3 music (British curricula). I led on choral music programmes, was orchestral conductor, and devised a number of chamber music co-curricular programmes. I was assistant boarding housemaster to the Sixth Form boarding house, devising assemblies, developing pastoral systems and being at the forefront of child safeguarding. I assisted the head of the university guidance department, managing UCAS applications. I am fully schooled in Naviance.
