    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.

    I love being outside and sharing that passion with the children at Little Stanion Primary School. I lead Outdoor Learning sessions that are designed to teach the children new skills, improve their confidence and, most of all, are fun! Whether we are dipping in the pond for minibeasts, learning about the birds that visit the playground or getting muddy creating natural art, we are learning together and connecting with the nature that surrounds us.

    I have been working at Little Stanion for almost three years now, and I can honestly say I love my job. I am based in the office, dealing with day-to-day goings on, but I do get to see a lot of the children (not so much at the moment which makes me sad) I love the school and all of the staff and children here. It’s such a lovely place to work and I am proud to say I know all (most) of the childrens’ names!
