I have been teaching for over 15 years and have experience of working in three different primary schools. I was previously Deputy Headteacher at Willow Primary, but am currently in the role of Acting Headteacher. Like many people who are passionate about their career, I find that I work at my best when faced with a fresh and exciting challenge. The happiness, well-being and success of every child is of utmost importance to me and it is only through a supportive partnership between child, parent and school that we can achieve this.
When I’m not at work, I enjoy spending time with my two children who keep me very busy. I also have a lively dog called Brody, who needs regular walking and entertaining to tire him out. My cat, Millie, is getting old now, so she is just happy being curled up on my lap in the evenings and enjoying a stroke.

I have worked in Special Needs education for many years within Gloucestershire. I have worked with many pupils from across Key Stage 2, 3 and 4 and have worked closely within the Early Years provision. I am very excited to work with everyone across Willow Primary Academy and to make sure that children and parents are supported. I enjoy working with children, families and staff and look forward to hearing from everyone. If you need any help or information, please get in touch!

Our Curriculum
Year 4 Curriculum Overview
The following document gives you more information about the Curriculum in Year 4
Key Information
- PE is on a Wednesday. Please make sure your child wears their correct PE kit into school and any jewellery is removed.
- Reading books and records must be in school every day so that we can hear your children read. Please ensure your child reads at least 4 times a week at home and sign their reading record with the date. Any other comments about their reading are helpful but not essential. The children earn a Dojo points each time they read at home and they can spend these in the pride shop.
- Homework will be set on a Friday and is to be completed by the following Thursday. This will include spellings, Maths, English and a curriculum menu with extra activities to choose from.
- Please ensure your child’s belongings are labelled clearly with their name and they have a drinks bottle in school everyday.
