I am very proud to be the Headteacher of Park Primary School. I have worked in a wide range of schools across the UK as my husband was in the army, we have now settled in the local area and are very happy here. Seeing the children learn new skills and overcome challenges is the most rewarding part of my job. I have three young boys who keep me busy. At the weekend we enjoy trips to Bolton Woods and Wycollar.

I have had the pleasure of working at Park since I graduated from Chester Teacher Training College. Both my children attended Park Primary and have become successful in their careers. I love my role as Deputy Head teacher and especially enjoy having the opportunity to work in all classes. I am very proud to work at Park Primary and always take an interest in the careers of past pupils. My hobbies are walking, spending time with my friends and family.

I have a degree in History of Art and Architecture from Manchester University and a PGCE from The University of Cumbria with an Early Years Specialism.
