Year 4

After completing my A-levels in Louth, I studied Geography at the University of Hertfordshire for four years, with one year studying in Quebec, Canada. Then went on to gain PGCE at Norwich University. I have since worked at Layston First School in Hertfordshire where I was Year 3 teacher and numeracy co-ordinator before returning to Lincolnshire. I joined Lincoln Minster Preparatory School as Year 4/5 teacher for one year while studying for an MA in education at Bishop Grosseteste. I am very pleased to be joining the staff at St Peter & S Paul Primary and looking forward to my time at the school.
