    For me the school experience should be about the whole child and that is why I love this school. I am passionate about mental health, wellbeing and conversation and spend my days helping children when they need a bit of additional support. None of this would be possible without the school animals Ron, Bertie and Toddie. My favourite time of the year is during the summer term when we have water fights, sleepovers and the summer play.
