Learning Support Co-ordinator

I initially joined the Fairfield Team as a class teacher in 1999, having previously lived and worked in London. I qualified from Reading University with a Bachelor of Education and a specialism in English/Drama and Special Educational Needs. Further study has led to a Psychology degree from The Open University and focussed study in the area of Dyslexia. Over the last twenty years I have been fortunate enough to teach in both the Pre-Prep and Upper Prep Departments and moved to the Senior Management Team eight years ago to take up the role of Learning Support Co-ordinator. I feel extremely privileged to hold this position which gives me the wonderful opportunity of working with children, staff and parents throughout the school. I am happily married with three wonderful daughters who have all been educated through Fairfield and the LSF Upper Schools. I enjoy cooking (and eating!), walking our soppy Labrador, playing with our four cats and have recently discovered Park Runs, to help combat my first hobby!!
