I am excited to be joining the staff at Westbrook Hay this September. In the newly created role of Assistant Head (Academic) I hope to bring my passion for teaching and learning to the school community. Whilst I trained to be a primary teacher, thus teaching all subjects, in the last few years I have become a specialist English teacher and I am keen to share my love of reading and words with the children. In a previous life I was a professional opera singer, and I still enjoy music of all varieties. Outside of school I enjoy spending time with my young family, walking our recalcitrant rescue pointer and watching motor sport.
