My name is Sarah and I have worked in education for 28 years.
I am a primary teacher and have taken on various roles throughout the years including as an Advanced Skills Teacher and a Local Authority Mathematics Advisor. I have taught in all year groups from EYFS to Y6 across four schools in Somerset and North Somerset. I have a strong interest in the teaching and learning of primary mathematics. My last teaching post was at Uphill Village Academy until I left to concentrate on Initial Teacher Training at Easter 2023. I have been a staff governor there for 10 years.
I have been involved in the professional development of teachers for the last 20 years, running CPD sessions across North Somerset schools with a particular focus on mathematics and the training and development of Early Career Teachers.
I am currently Programme Lead for a local Teacher Training Programme based in Lawrence Hill and am passionate about developing the skills and expertise of our future teachers.
Becoming a Governor at Hartcliffe Nursery School is an exciting prospect that I am looking forward to. I am committed to being part of a dynamic Governing Body and making a difference to the care and education of the children at Hartcliffe.
