Staffing for Next Year

Staffing and class list have now been finalised and were sent home yesterday. The staffing structure is below. Kay Richards will continue in her role as SENDCo. Gill Coulton will be without class responsibility and will be providing additional support in Year 6. Lucy Burton will continue as cover supervisor and EAL specialist. Geoff Bonner will continue to teach music two days a week. Remi Murray will put his language talents to good use by teaching French throughout the school. Emily Smith-Stevenson will head up the PE team.
We have three new recruits to the teaching team: Tamsyn Brooks is joining the teaching team as an ECT having worked as an LSA for the last 18 months. Tamsyn is passionate about food, both eating and cooking, and loves to create tasty recipes in her spare time. Having got her degree and QTS from Canterbury Uni, Tamsyn took some time out to travel before gently moving back to teaching via an LSA role.
Sally Reid is training as a teacher with us having moved from the office to LS team this term. Sally has been supporting children across the school, running clubs and going on school journey for the last three years so already knows the ropes and will be a great asset to Year 5, where she will be learning her craft under Megan Hill’s experienced wing.
The final member of the team is Xavi Mateo. Xavi is an experienced teacher, moving from Nottingham to London. He is passionate about sport (he’ll fit in perfectly here!) having led PE in his previous school. Xavi impressed the children at interview by quickly realising the parts they understood and the ‘bits we needed to work on.’ Xavi will be joining us on Monday to meet his new class.
Marta Garcia Gamon will be joining the LS team, supporting individual children. Marta is an English and Arts graduate who is experienced in supporting neurodiverse children in the UK as well as overseas.
