Hi there, my name is Chan Amor and I have worked in education for 20 years. I gained my teaching degree at Leeds Beckett University. I began my career as a teacher in North Lincolnshire, one of my biggest accomplishments whilst working there was to lead on improving multi-cultural links. This included creating a partnership with the school I worked at and a school in China. I later moved to a small primary school in East Yorkshire and it was there I began to follow my passion for SEND and went on to study and gain my Diploma in Inclusion, at Hull University. In 2012, I joined the HJS family, as a Year 6 teacher. During my time at HJS, I have taught across all year groups and have led a variety of subjects and have always considered myself as someone who can ‘turn my hand to anything’. My current roles include being the Head of Inclusion, Safeguarding, Wellbeing and SENDCO (gained the NSENDCO award in 2021) and have recently been appointed as Primary Lead for SEND and Inclusion across our academy. Part of my roles include, seeking advice and support from the Local Authority and other outside agencies for our pupils and families who need specialist support. In school, I work alongside key members of staff so that quality first teaching is available to all and TAs have the skills and knowledge to deliver targeted interventions for those pupils who require additional support. I feel incredibly privileged and proud to work as part of such a hardworking and caring team. Howden will always hold a special place in my heart, as I was brought up here so to hold such an important role within our local community is truly an honour.
