I am always striving to use my 10 years’ teaching experience to make lessons engaging and memorable for the children I teach. We learn by our mistakes in a safe environment and work together to help each other learn new skills and knowledge. As well as being the current Year 3 teacher, I am also responsible for developing the teaching and learning of computing across the school and am passionate about helping children develop their ideas, with the aid of technology.

About me
I am currently the Reception Teacher here at Upton-upon-Severn. I am an Early Years specialist, having completed a First Class Honours Degree in Early Childhood. Alongside my Degree I studied for my Early Years Professional Status, which encourages professionals like myself to lead improvements within the Early Years sector.

Teaching in the Early Years is my passion and I believe in an education that encourages a love of lifelong learning and celebrates each child’s uniqueness.

I am the curriculum lead for Science across the whole school. I also lead MFL (Modern Foreign Languages). The main aspects of this role are to ensure children in Key Stage 2 leave our school with a solid grounding of key aspects in French, as well as ensure they have access to high quality resources and exciting language opportunities.
I also run the School Council. They meet weekly to ensure they have a significant role in being the voice of the children in our school. I am also a fully qualified Forest School leader.

I have been teaching at Upton-upon-Severn Primary School for about 10 years. Since returning from maternity leave I teach children from Pre-School up to Year 3 Forest School. I love seeing the children grow and develop their skills, knowledge and confidence in the outdoors. I also co-ordinate Forest School and PSHE throughout school.
Miss Jo Ludlow
Teacher, SENCO and Assessment Co-ordinator
About me
I joined the Upton team in 2015. I currently teach alongside the teachers in Year 6 and 4. I am part of the Senior Leadership Team within the school – leading assessment across the school and working closely with the Headteacher to analyse attainment and progress of our pupils. But my biggest passion is Maths – which I am sure the children will also tell you. I am the subject leader for maths and I just love watching the children grow into problem solvers – nothing beats giving the children a problem and seeing their faces light up with excitement as they try to solve it!
