E-Mail: beckg@khps.co.uk

Gill Beck qualified with a B.Ed Hons from Nene College Northampton and then spent four years teaching in Milton Keynes and the Wirral before realising her long held ambition to work overseas.

From 1991-1998 Gill worked in International Schools in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand as well as spending a year working with Gifted and Talented children and teaching year 5 in Auckland, New Zealand.  This was a wonderful experience both personally and professionally and led to many experiences she will never forget.

Upon her return to England, Miss Beck worked briefly in a school in Banbury before gaining a position teaching Year 5 at Warwick School.  She remained at Warwick School for 8 years, during which Gill became Head of English, Head of Year and Head of Tracking and Assessment.  Along with these middle management roles, Gill also worked in the special needs department, gaining a certificate in Dyslexia and Literacy from the Dyslexia Institute in 2003 and was in charge of charity events, raising thousands of pounds for various causes and working for a summer on a school project in Tanzania.

Gill joined King Henry’s in 2007 as a Year 3 class teacher and is now Head of Learning Support.  She is looking forward to the new challenges and experiences that will arise as the department moves forward in the coming years.
