Jayne Bartrop

Senior Lecturer

Health, Education, Policing and Sciences

Having taught as an Associate Tutor on the PGCE Business and Economics course at Edge Hill University, I was delighted in 2015 to join the Education team at Staffordshire University as a Senior Lecturer to lead the PGCE course in Business and Economics. I teach across all PGCE Secondary courses and on the Education and Professional Issues programme.

I began my teaching career working in schools in Lancashire and Merseyside as part of my teacher training before settling in Cheshire where I had twenty happy, but extremely busy years as a Curriculum Leader in a local secondary school. I have taught Key Stage 3, 4 and 5 and have also been involved teaching enterprise education to year 6 pupils at a local feeder primary school.

As an experienced classroom teacher and Curriculum Leader of Business and Economics I have taught all age and ability ranges from Key Stage 3-Key Stage 5 across a wide range of courses including A level Business, A level Economics, BTEC Business Level 2 and 3, GNVQ Business, Applied Business, Enterprise Education, A level General Studies, Young Enterprise, Personal, Social, Health and Economic education (PHSE) and Opening Minds.
