Mrs. Hitch
I am so excited, and feel it is a real privilege, to be part of the Reception class this year.
Before joining St John's, I spent many years working in Early Years, both in Reception and Nursery settings, where I gained valuable experience and insight into early years teaching and learning. I am passionate about being part of the St John's community and ensuring every child who comes to St John's receives experiences that enable them to flourish and grow, grounded in strong Christian values.
In addition to my role in Reception, I am also proud to be the school’s SENCO, supporting our commitment to ensuring every child’s individual needs are met and that all children reach their God-given potential.
Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family, exploring new recipes, visiting new places, and going to the theatre.

I have been teaching in Key stage 1 since 2008, and moved to Reception in 2012, where I fell in love with the child centered ethos of teaching this age group, and the opportunities for outdoor learning. I have taught in three different schools across East Sussex prior to joining the team at St Johns Meads.
