Imbriano, a recent NQT at Green

award for 'Outstanding New
Teacher of the Year' at Pearson's
Teaching Awards. Izzy Hall had a
chance to interview CInzia and
her Headteacher, Aaron
Wanford.
Congratulations Cinzia!
So, what made you want to teach?
From a young age I’d always wanted to
support and help others, even in primary
school, but it was in secondary school that I
decided I wanted to be a teacher. I felt that
there was a high priority placed on grades
and I was sure that this was not what
education was about, so I wanted to change
this. I wanted to figure out how to teach
children to be good people whilst giving them
the skills to learn anything they wanted to.
