Hello, I'm Lee. I am the class teacher of 11Cann in Key Stage 4 and have been proud to be part of the Cann Bridge School community since 2009.

With a degree in Design and a passion for creative thinking, I strive to provide engaging and meaningful learning experiences that inspire learners to develop confidence, independence and ambition. Throughout my career at Cann Bridge, I have worked with a wide range of learners and have always believed that, with the right support, encouragement and personalised approaches, every young person can achieve far beyond expectations.

I have a particular interest in outdoor learning, using the natural environment as a dynamic and motivating space for learning. I am passionate about helping learners recognise that valuable learning can take place beyond the classroom walls, developing practical skills, resilience, teamwork and confidence through real-life experiences.

Over the years, I have led a number of successful enterprise projects, supporting learners to develop creativity, problem-solving and business skills. These opportunities have resulted in national recognition, including reaching UK finals and attending prestigious award events at Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle. Most recently, in 2024, our enterprise team achieved first place nationally in the Key Stage 4 category of the Peter Jones Foundation Tycoon Competition, culminating in a memorable final at Canary Wharf and the opportunity to showcase our learners' talents to entrepreneur Peter Jones.

Alongside my classroom role, I have led several of our Personal Development Club opportunities, including Beat Bounce, DJ Club, School Radio and Ukulele Club. These sessions provide learners with valuable opportunities to develop confidence, communication, creativity and teamwork whilst exploring their individual talents and interests. I am particularly passionate about using music and media as powerful tools for engagement, self-expression and personal development. In 2026, we were incredibly proud to launch Radio Cann Bridge, our learner-led school radio station, which provides pupils with a platform to share their voices, celebrate achievements and develop real-world broadcasting, communication and leadership skills.

In 11Cann, we create a highly engaging and supportive learning environment tailored to the individual needs of every learner. Through personalised learning programmes, structured subject-specific learning and practical experiences, we support learners to develop the skills they need for adulthood and future success. Our classroom is sensory-friendly and rich with opportunities for exploration, incorporating music, creativity and outdoor learning to maximise engagement and enjoyment.

Creativity sits at the heart of our classroom culture. We believe that learning should be interactive, purposeful and enjoyable, enabling learners to discover their strengths and build confidence in their abilities. Music is a particular favourite within our class, providing opportunities for communication, self-expression and shared experiences.

As we often say in 11Cann, "We inspire them, to inspire us." Every day, our learners demonstrate determination, creativity and resilience, and it is a privilege to be part of their journey.
