| Summary: | Andy Smith's students at Woodchurch High School in the Wirral are clearly inspired by his teaching - his passion for physics is infectious. His teaching style relies on a host of interactive strategies, practical demonstrations, quizzes, videos, games and role play. He teaches students with a wide range of abilities, from the gifted and talented to those with physical, emotional or mental difficulties, yet all pupils consistently perform above expectation. Last year more than 70 per cent of Andy's GCSE pupils attained A* or A grades. More than half went on to study physics at A-level. As one colleague commented, Lessons with Andy are a fascinating adventure for pupils, and the quality of his teaching, his enthusiasm, energy and dedication is outstanding. He does a fantastic job of motivating all his pupils with the wonder of science. It comes as no surprise then that he was awarded North-West Teacher of the Year in a Secondary School in 2005. |
