John Biggs
Teacher - Year 5 & Primary Learning Leader
I am looking forward to my fourth year here at the British School of Chicago. I am looking forward to helping my new class of Lively Leopards learn new and exciting things throughout the course of this year. I am also responsible for leading a great year five team and continuing my role as Curriculum development leader for Science in the primary department.
I grew up in the middle of England in a city called Wolverhampton. I then travelled to Wales to study for my degree in Geography. After this I then went on to complete my Post Graduate Certificate in Education and before beginning my teaching career I travelled across Europe and America.
On my return to the UK I began my teaching career back in Stoke on Trent in the middle of England. I taught year 3 and 4 during my time there and thoroughly enjoyed helping the children in my classes learn and have fun, both inside the classroom and as part of the many sports teams that I ran.
My three years in Chicago have been an amazing experience and I hope to have another exciting year!
