Reference for Viv Quarry

I have known Viv for several years and was his line manager from 2018 to 2020, when he was a Lead Teacher working for the Ministry of Education. 

Viv is hardworking and conscientious, and takes great pride in his work. He is keen to make a positive difference in his schools. He likes to be organised and plans well to ensure that he uses his time effectively. He also keeps comprehensive records of all aspects of his working life. 
Viv is an excellent teacher, and was often called upon by senior management to cover lessons in schools throughout Sharjah. He was also part of the training team, sharing his expertise and delivering CPD to teachers across the sector. 

Viv takes the welfare of his staff seriously and consistently supports them in all aspects of their work. Examples of this include covering lessons, helping them to upload results/data, and introducing new technology to reduce their workload. He also improved their daily working conditions by negotiating with school management to provide free drinking water and clean bathrooms. 

Viv is motivated to update his own skills and knowledge regularly, and ensures that he keeps abreast of new teaching methods and educational theory. He is currently studying for his MA in Educational Management. 

From my perspective as his line manager, Viv was a pleasure to work with. We met regularly during the time that we worked together and his enthusiasm for all areas of his work was evident. All of his schools benefitted immeasurably from his hard work and drive for improvement. I would not hesitate to work with him again.
