I first came to Prestbury as a supply teacher and never left. I loved working here from the start and I was so grateful to be able to stay. Teaching is my second career and I am so pleased I was able make the change because I feel very privileged to have a part shaping children’s futures.

Teaching in Year 4 is wonderful, I really enjoy spending time with the children in my class, I love that every day is different and full of surprises. My favourite time of the day is when the children are coming into school, I love hearing about what they have been up to at the evenings and weekends.

When I am not in school, my favourite thing is to be outside. I love hiking in the peak district with my sproodle Bo and in the holidays, we like to go to the Lake District or the Welsh Coast to explore some more!  When the weather is not so good, I like to go bouldering and indoor rock climbing. I also read lots and love to get cosy with a good book and a cup of tea.
