I am excited to have recently joined the team at St John’s Meads Primary School. Prior to this I have been teaching for 5 years throughout Kent and East Sussex, across both Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. I love visiting new places, both in the UK and abroad, and have spent a lot of time travelling, particularly around Africa.

I am super excited to join the St John’s Meads School community after working in a primary school in St Leonard’s for the past two years, where I taught in Key Stage 1. I am thrilled to be teaching Year 3 and am looking forward to being a part of the children’s journey through their school years and helping them to flourish and grow. I have received such a wonderful warm welcome from the children, parents and staff at St John’s Meads and I already feel so much a part of this very special community and team.

I enjoy all the subjects that I teach but I especially enjoy English, Mathematics, PE and Art. In my spare time I enjoy the gym and fitness classes and challenging myself with charity runs. I love spending time with my family and taking our two very cute dogs for walks across the beautiful South Downs. I love baking sweet treats from cupcakes and cookies to giant celebration cakes, I also love my arts and crafts and always have a knitting or cross stitch project on the go. I very much look forward to sharing my hobbies with the lovely St John’s Meads community and team!

I am very excited to be Year Two teacher at St John’s Meads, a year group which is new to me this year! I have enjoyed five years teaching at St John’s, with experience across Key Stage One and Two, giving me a great range of knowledge and understanding of teaching and learning through the primary school.

St John’s Meads is a fantastic place to work, with a dedicated and creative staff team who inspire and encourage every child and foster a love of learning. I particularly enjoy teaching Maths and Art. The schools location is perfect for outdoor learning too, with the wonderful beach and South Downs just around the corner.

In my spare time, I enjoy running, walking in the countryside and watching football matches!

This will be my second year teaching at the lovely St John’s Meads. Having had a wonderful year teaching year 1, I am looking forward to continue teaching this year group. It is a privilege to support the children as they flourish in their learning and as people.

My favourite subjects are Science and Drama, and I enjoy incorporating the active aspect of these subjects into my teaching. I have also performed in a number of pantomimes throughout the years, I feel this has influenced my style of teaching as I like to make learning fun and exciting.

In my free time I enjoy going to concerts and the cinema. My favourite animal is a sloth, hence why our class mascot is Sid the sloth!

This is my second year at St John’s Meads School, I teach Year 5, lead RE and PSHE and am completing my Level 5 Forest School Leader qualification. Previously, I worked in a primary school in St-Leonard’s for 5 years, where I taught in Key Stage 1 and 2, led Key Stage 1 and Phonics and volunteered as a Staff Governor.

As a Christian, it is such a joy to belong to the warm and loving community of pupils, parents, staff and volunteers who worship and work together every day. My favourite Bible passage is Galatians 5:22-23 “the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.” These are attributes that I actively seek to model and encourage in the children that I work with.

In my spare time, I am usually either working on my allotment, knitting up something cosy or sewing something special to wear. I also enjoy supporting our local rugby team too!
