Hi!  I’m Gillian Felstead, a Higher Level Teaching Assistant and I work mostly in Y5/6.  As well as general assistant duties I also cover PPA time, along with other assistants.  I started working here in 2002 – it seems like only yesterday!  I love this job – especially the school holidays! (Only joking!)  I like spending time with my family and having fun.  My biggest ambition was to drive a tank, which I achieved in 2005.  I am now setting my sights even higher; I want to drive a gigantic earth moving machine!

Hi!  My name is Sharon Beaumont and I am a teaching assistant in Y3/4.  Part of my duties also include covering PPA time along with the other assistants.  I also work as a support worker for Mrs. Williams in Y5/6 and I support Mr. Clarke with the Special Educational Needs paperwork.    I started here in October 2000 and I really do enjoy it, although I love the holidays too!   I also love chocolate and spending time with my family and friends.  I enjoy taking my dogs for a walk: I’ve got a dog called Tess and a new puppy called Missy.  I would like to learn to drive and learn more about ICT.  I really hate rainy days! 

Hi, I’m Susan Philp and I work in Upper Foundation.  I started here in June 2000 and I really enjoy it.  I love spending time with my family and friends and want to live a long and happy life.  I’m a Christian and a member of my local church.  I love to laugh and look for the good and positive in life but I really don’t like bad manners!
