All about me!

I am looking forward to working with Mrs Oswick to teach Fleming class, we will work closely with Mrs Kiell in Newton class, we are really lucky to have such a great year 1 team. We have a fun year ahead with lots of exciting learning and enrichment opportunities planned.

Fun Fact about me: I lived in Australia for seven years until I missed Cornwall too much so I moved back home to be closer to family and the beautiful Cornish beaches. I have taught in Australia, New Zealand and Sri Lanka but in my opinion Cornwall tops them all!
