Stephen EmmettClass Teacher / Assistant Headteacher
Stephen Emmett
My name is Stephen Emmett and I am the Year 6 teacher and Assistant Headteacher here at Benenden Primary School. I am in my 10th year of teaching and have experience in most year groups in a primary setting. Prior to teaching, I worked a number of years overseas with children in some fantastic places. I graduated with a BSc from the University of Portsmouth, continued on with my PGCE at the University of Southampton and completed my Masters in Education Leadership and Management with the University of Keele in 2023. I am also excited to be working across the 10:10 federation as Lead on Assessment.
I have always enjoyed working alongside children and take particular interest in current research, new classroom approaches, treating every child as an individual and building great rapports with children to ensure they reach their full potential. My classroom is a fun space where children can express themselves as individuals and feel safe to share their views and opinions. In my spare time, I enjoy exploring the countryside, general fitness, travelling and reading.
