I’m Louise Ret and I’m a Primary Teacher based in Edinburgh, Scotland. I’ve been teaching for six years, the last five of them being at Gylemuir Primary, and for the past year I’ve been on secondment as Acting Principal Teacher at Gylemuir. My job is really diverse and ensures I’m always enquiring, questioning and thinking creatively to improve my practice. For 2019/2020 i’ll be continuing as Acting PT with a remit for Equalities, which encompasses EAL, 1 in 5, ACEs, LGBT and SfL.
Other fun stuff about me: I love reading, I run, I play netball, and I lived in Australia for four years. I also worked in a school in New Zealand for a year prior to going to university. Living abroad has really shaped who I am as a person and that has integrated itself into my practice – i’m always intrigued by different cultures, languages and perspectives and I want children to value their heritage and have a strong sense of cultural identity, whatever that may be.
Happy reading!
