Afia Sattar

I am an outstanding, enthusiastic and dedicated primary school teacher with a calm, nurturing and highly organised approach to teaching and behaviour management. With experience teaching across Years 1 to 6, I have developed strong skills in building positive relationships with children, staff and families, creating safe and supportive learning environments where every child feels valued and understood.

Throughout my teaching career, I have consistently received excellent feedback from senior leaders, particularly for my outstanding behaviour management and ability to meet the individual needs of all pupils. I pride myself on remaining calm, patient and adaptable, especially when supporting children who may experience social, emotional or behavioural challenges. I understand the importance of consistency, trust and strong relationships when working with children who may struggle within mainstream education settings.

I have significant experience supporting children with Special Educational Needs, including ADHD, autism, behavioural needs, speech and language difficulties, and learning difficulties. I taught Maths and English interventions to groups of SEN pupils, tailoring lessons carefully to ensure progress, engagement and confidence. I am skilled at adapting learning to suit individual needs and using creative approaches to motivate and encourage children who may have become disengaged from education.
