Miss J. Bricheno
Foundation and Key Stage One Departmental Leader
I was educated in both the UK and USA whilst growing up, and graduated from Worcester College with an honours degree in Music and Education. I studied the clarinet and piano up to Grade Eight, took part in musical competitions, rung in a hand bell team, and was a competitive swimmer and whitewater slalom canoeist.
I have teaching experience both in England and internationally. Whilst in England I taught a Year 1 class and had overall responsibility for Science. In Dubai I taught in a number of year groups including Year 1, Year 2 and Year 3 and worked with a large team of teachers, developing my leadership skills. I recently completed the International Leadership and Management Program and have used Visual, Auditory and Kinesthetic learning as a focus for my in school study.
I am enjoying my present role here at the British School of Chicago as Foundation and Key Stage One Departmental Leader, and am currently teaching Music to Foundation, Year 1 and Year 2. I have also taken on the post of Director of Music at the British Music School of Chicago and am looking forward to working with tutors, parents and students from September, to further develop their musical skills.
I have really enjoyed my fourth year here at the British School of Chicago, leading the Lower School and teaching Music to the younger students. The staff, parents, and pupils continue to make me feel very welcome here in Chicago and I look forward to another successful year leading my team of talented staff, encouraging children’s love of music and celebrating the wonderful learning going on in each classroom.
