#StaffSpotlight: Ms R Ladas – SENCo

4th November 2022Mrs S Field
Happy Friday and we start today off with another #staffspotlight.
Today we’d like you to meet Ms Ria Ladas, SENCo (Special Educational Needs Coordinator).
 
What did you do before coming to Enfield Grammar?
‘Having completed a Biological Sciences degree with a specialism in Cancer Research, I decided to hang up my lab coat and pursue a career in Teaching. It has now been 4 years since I joined the school’.
 
What does your role in school consist of?
‘I started as a Science teacher and two years ago also took on the role of SENCo. I still teach science part-time specialising in Biology.
My main role as SENCo involves working with pupils and families across the school to get the best outcomes no matter their need or situation.
In addition to this, I am also the Designated Teacher for Looked after Children and EAL students.’
 
‘No two days at EGS are the same and I am fortunate enough to be supported in this role with the most amazing team of HLTAs (Higher-Level Teaching Assistants) and TAs who support our students across the school.’
 
What do you outside of work?
‘When I’m not working I love travelling, walking my dog and watching Arsenal games.’
 
Have you got a memorable moment/s or a highlight of your time here so far?
‘There are a few but am delighted to have been successful recently in winning a £5000 bid to develop a SEN inclusive learning hub for our boys to access. And, a lovely memory I have is of watching my class nurture and release a pigeon that flew injured in to to the classroom in the middle of a practical lesson in SC1!’

The Sound of EGS Voices

3rd November 2022Mrs S Field
Yesterday, Ms Thompson, our singing teacher led our first Singing Workshop.
It showcased the physical, mental and social benefits of singing and group singing in particular.
The boys split into two teams and learned a whole new song from scratch, with a number of different parts. They learned to listen to each other, sing in harmony and develop an awareness of breath control, as well as the sheer fun of belting out pop hits at the top of their lungs!
