Education background: <\/b>I first gained Graduate Degree in Biology major in Microbiology and Genetics (FCUL, Portugal) and went on to achieve a PhD in Biology (Nova University of Lisbon, Portugal) before moving into industry<\/p>\n
Experience before teaching<\/b>: I was a research Scientist in France and Portugal before taking on the role of Manager of Biomedical Research Centre in Lisbon. I have also worked as a Technical Translator and Freelance consultant. Amongst this I took on some tutoring roles and worked as an English Teacher for pre-elementary and elementary school in Portugal and this is where I discovered my passion for teaching<\/p>\n
Teacher training pathway: <\/b>Assessment Only Route leading to Qualified Teacher Status<\/p>\n
Why you applied to teach at <\/b>Beauchamps<\/b>:
I became aware of Beauchamps\u2019 good reputation through friends with established contacts to the school. Upon investigation I realised they were looking for trainees to teach Science and jumped at the chance to train here.<\/p>\n
Proudest teaching moment so far: <\/b>Inspiring several students (Y7s, Y8s, Y12s) to produce great Science projects to display or share in Science lessons.<\/p>\n

Education background: <\/b>I studied my GCSEs and A-Levels at Beauchamps. At A-Level, I studied Maths, Further Maths, Economics and Geography, and immediately left after completion to study Maths at the University of Essex. After receiving a First-Class Honours Degree, I started training to become a Maths teacher.<\/span><\/p>\n Experience before teaching: <\/b>This is my first job, so I have no prior work experience. However, before becoming a teacher, I volunteered at Beauchamps between semesters during my time at University and completed an internship with BEC SCITT in the summer of 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n Teacher training pathway: <\/b>After completing my degree, I trained with BEC SCITT. This involved 4 days teaching experience at Beauchamps and one day off-site to be trained in the theory (both pedagogical and subject-based).<\/span><\/p>\n Why you applied to teach at <\/b>Beauchamps<\/b>: <\/b>Beauchamps really is like a family. I always felt welcome whenever I returned to volunteer or train here, so it never occurred to me to apply to another school.<\/span><\/p>\n Proudest teaching moment so far: <\/b>Becoming a Statistics Co-ordinator in my ECT2 year is my proudest moment so far. It is very rewarding to be trusted with extra responsibilities so soon into my teaching career!<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/www.beauchamps.essex.sch.uk\/highschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Ryan.mp4″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/www.beauchamps.essex.sch.uk\/highschool\/ects” button_text=”Click here to return to the ECT page” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#FFFFFF” background_layout=”dark” box_shadow_style=”preset1″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What our Early Career Teachers Say…Mrs Carapuco: ScienceEducation background: I first gained Graduate Degree in Biology major in Microbiology and Genetics (FCUL, Portugal) and went on to achieve a PhD in Biology (Nova University of Lisbon, Portugal) before moving into industry Experience before teaching: I was a research Scientist in France and Portugal before taking […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-226417","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-05-08 07:56:34","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beauchamps.essex.sch.uk\/highschool\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/226417","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beauchamps.essex.sch.uk\/highschool\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beauchamps.essex.sch.uk\/highschool\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beauchamps.essex.sch.uk\/highschool\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beauchamps.essex.sch.uk\/highschool\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=226417"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/www.beauchamps.essex.sch.uk\/highschool\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/226417\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":226458,"href":"https:\/\/www.beauchamps.essex.sch.uk\/highschool\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/226417\/revisions\/226458"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beauchamps.essex.sch.uk\/highschool\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=226417"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
