I am the Headteacher at Upton-upon-Severn and joined the school in September 2011. I am passionate in my desire to ensure we offer an inspirational learning environment for all our children. I am a strong supporter of the outdoor curriculum and teach both forest school and bellboating.

I teach in Year 5 and I am the PE coordinator. I organise clubs, fixtures and exciting extra-curricular activities to promote team work and healthy life styles.

I am the Year 2 teacher and I lead music and R.E. at school.  Music, both in school and outside of school, is one of my loves and, in my class, we sing throughout the day.  As a church school, worship and R.E. are central to our ethos and I help support our strong presence in the school and local community.

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 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.

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!
