About me

Mrs Sarah Gabriel
Teacher and Forest School Co-ordinator
About me
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
SENDCo 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!

Mrs Emma Malpass
Teacher
About me
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.

Mrs Kate Moroni

About me
I am the Year 4 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.
