Below are Tyla’s reflections on how their time here at LHS has been.

“ My name is Tyla Evans, and I have very recently joined Leicester High School as a student teacher of Religious Education. Starting a placement at a new school is usually nerve-wracking. However, I have had such a warm welcome from all the staff and students at Leicester High School. All the staff members have been incredibly kind and helpful, and I already feel as though I am part of the school community. Both my placement co-ordinator and mentor have been very proactive in ensuring that I have a smooth start. I even have my own desk and computer space!

My placement co-ordinator had prioritised a meeting with the Designated Safeguarding Lead on my first day, and I will be meeting the Special Educational Needs Coordinator very soon. This makes it is incredibly clear that Leicester High School truly aims to provide all students with an exceptional all-round education and ensures that every individual is valued. This is a vision I will actively support, during my placement and beyond, as it aligns with my own personal philosophy.

Mr Ingram, head of Philosophy and Belief, is my co-tutor and I am excited to work alongside him throughout the duration of my placement. I feel very grateful to the School already, and I am sure I will continue to enjoy my time at Leicester High School.”
