Leadership team

I studied for my degree in Primary Education at York St Johns and qualified in 2010. I have taught in years 2,3,4,5 and 6. I started my teaching career at Willow Tree (another NSAT school.)

My passions are English, Oracy and developing a love for high quality texts and books. I love reading and have been the driving force in developing a very strong approach to English here at Greatwood.

I have coached several SCITT students, ECTs and worked alongside colleagues here at Greatwood to improve the quality of their teaching and learning over time.

In my spare time I enjoy taking my dog ‘Chester’ out for long walks, spending time with my close group of friends and being the best auntie to my two nephews.
