Why did you become a teacher?
I have always wanted to be a teacher. I love working with children and wanted to make a difference to their opportunities and school experiences.
What is your favourite subject and why?
My favourite subject would be literacy. I love to read and I think that the more we read the more we know and understand of the world around us.

What do you like about working at Roseberry?
I have loved working at Roseberry Primary since I joined the team over 30 years ago. Even though most of the original staff have now retired or moved on to new places I still love the ‘family’ feel of our school. The children who attend our school are talented, caring and resilient. They amaze me with their love of learning and their community spirit.
