Xian is an experienced English teacher with a profound dedication to education and a genuine passion for nurturing student development. With over six years of teaching experience, Xian's journey began in Essex, where she trained with Teach First. Having honed her expertise in the subject, Xian assumed the role of literacy coordinator at her previous school, where she made significant contributions to fostering literacy skills among students. However, her time at RFSS proved transformative as she discovered a newfound passion for pastoral care. Starting as Head of Year 7, Xian has been dedicated to ensuring a seamless transition for students as they progress through their secondary education. The bond she forged with her year group was so strong that she followed them through to Year 8, fostering a sense of continuity and trust. Xian eagerly anticipates taking on the role of Head of Year 7 yet again, allowing her to develop her passion for supporting transition and fostering a positive start to secondary school. To further enhance her leadership skills, Xian is currently undertaking an NPQ in leading behaviour and culture, demonstrating a commitment to creating a nurturing and inclusive school environment. Outside of the school setting, Xian finds solace in the pages of books, a fitting pastime for an English teacher. She also enjoys visiting the gym and spending time with her friends and family.
