Amy Harrison

I'm Amy Harrison, and I'm the Secondary SENDCO at GEMS Metropole. My journey in education has always been about ensuring that every student feels included, supported, and excited about learning.

Since 2016, I've been part of the GEMS Metropole community, focusing on inclusion. One aspect I'm particularly proud of is helping to develop a tailored alternative curriculum for students who need it. It's been incredibly rewarding to see them flourish in an environment that's understanding and supportive.

For me, education goes beyond books. It's about helping students realise their potential and giving them the skills they need for life beyond the classroom. I'm passionate about making learning relevant by connecting it to real-life situations.

"Inclusion is about recognising the value in everyone and ensuring everyone feels like they belong," as Lisa Friedman eloquently expressed. This belief shapes everything I do as an educator. I firmly believe that every student, no matter their background, deserves a high-quality education and the opportunity to succeed.

In my role as Secondary SENDCO, I'm dedicated to ensuring that every student at GEMS Metropole receives the support they need to reach their full potential. Working alongside my colleagues and the wider school community, I'm committed to creating a wealth of opportunities for our students to thrive.
