Describe your teaching style in 3 words:

I’m calm, relaxed and spontaneous.

What do you most look forward to about your days?   

I love my job because no two days are ever the same. When I see the children learning and  progressing it gives me such a sense of pride – knowing that I have contributed in some way.  Hearing a child laugh and seeing them achieve a goal makes any day a good day.

What is your proudest moment/favourite thing to happen to you at St Mary’s?

Celebrating 40 yrs of teaching this age group & having my son & daughter-in-law choosing to send my granddaughter to St.Mary’s
