Year 4

I’m proud to be part of the team at Ash Green Academy, where I’ve had the pleasure of teaching across Reception, Year 1, and Year 2. My journey into education began after a decade in the private sector, followed by teacher training at Keele University. Since joining Ash Green, I’ve been continually inspired by our incredible children—their curiosity, energy, and love of learning make every day rewarding.

I’m especially passionate about promoting sports, wellbeing, and active learning. I believe that children thrive when they’re having fun, moving their bodies, and feeling good about themselves. Whether it’s through PE lessons, outdoor activities, or playful classroom moments, I love creating opportunities for children to be active, engaged, and joyful. This year, I’m excited to work in Year 4 alongside a fantastic team, helping our young learners grow in confidence, curiosity, and creativity.

I have now been teaching for seven wonderful years. I began my career at Edenhurst Preparatory School, where I was proud to become Head of PE and Geography lead. I am now really looking forward to the year ahead at Ash Green and becoming part of the Ash Green family, getting to know the children, families and the wider school community. My academic journey began at Manchester Metropolitan University, where I studied Exercise and Sport Science and graduated with a BSc (Hons) degree. My passion for education then led me to complete a Primary PGCE with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) in PE and Sport at the University of Buckingham. Although my specialist area is Physical Education and sport, I genuinely enjoy teaching all subjects and believe that every area of the curriculum offers exciting opportunities for children to discover new interests.

Outside of school, my family is at the centre of everything I do. I have two beautiful children who keep me busy, make me laugh every day and ensure there is never a dull moment! I love spending quality time with my family, whether that is exploring new places, enjoying days out together or making memories on family holidays. When I get the chance to relax, you’ll often find me curled up with a good book, escaping into different worlds and stories. I am also a proud supporter of Port Vale and enjoy following their journey throughout the football season.
