DANIELLE PETAR

Hi, I am Miss Danielle, the Assistant Headteacher for Inclusion and one of the SENDCOs at Gesher. I have an honours degree in Psychology and studied at the Institute of Education for my PGCE. I have been in education for over twenty years and alongside teaching, for the past seventeen years, I have been in the role of the Inclusion Lead/SENDCO with experience in various mainstream settings. This all lead to joining the amazing Gesher community in 2018. I love working collaboratively and creatively with parents, staff and students to secure the best support and provision to enable our students to flourish in their own individual journeys. I am passionate about promoting advocacy for our young people which has led to a further focus on life skills and developing opportunities for our students to acquire the skills and tools to successfully navigate the world around them, and become confident advocates for themselves. I am looking forward to working with you all and I am excited to see what the students achieve this year as they head into the next stage of their journey.
