I joined the team as SENDCo here at Widmer End in September 2023 and have been warmly welcomed by both children and staff.

I have been a qualified primary school teacher for twenty years. prior to Widmer End, I worked at a small village school in Maidenhead where I grew a special interest in supporting children with special educational needs. 

I live in Buckinghamshire, in Burnham and enjoy a very scenic journey to school each day. I live with my husband and two children who are thirteen and 11 and our pets - Baxter, a black miniature poodle and Snowy - our very friendly outdoor rabbit.

In my free time, I enjoy exercise - especially strength and conditioning fitness. I use kettlebells to get a good workout and attend a CrossFit gym close to where I live. Feeling physically strong makes me feel capable and supports my positive mental health too. As a family, we enjoy being fairly active and adventurous -  skiing, camping, cycling and plenty of dog walks.

I'm really excited to work here and especially enjoy getting out on the playground and into classrooms where I am always greeted with friendly smiles.
