School Staff

I was educated at Kirkby-in-Malhamdale Primary school and then at Skipton Girls’ High School. After a successful degree course at Newcastle University I embarked on a career in teaching. My first post was at Ripon Cathedral School and then as deputy head teacher at Pudsey Greenside, Leeds. Prior to this position I was head teacher at Rathmell C of E Primary School. I am married with two children and am committed to improving pupils learning.

I am originally from Liverpool, but moved to Yorkshire 14 years ago, although I now live in Lancashire. I am married and have three young children, who keep me very busy! I have taught at Hellifield Primary School, as well as working with children with additional needs in many different Primary schools across Craven. I joined Gargrave Primary School in September 2017. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends.

I have worked at Gargrave Primary school since 2006 and prior to that I worked at Lothersdale Primary school, St Philips CE in Nelson and Calversyke Middle School which was in Keighley.  I am married with two sons and we live on a farm!  Before qualifying as a teacher in 1995 I completed a photographic degree and then had a variety of jobs from advertising to catering.  I enjoy painting, walking, spending time with family and friends and holidays!

Having lived around this area until 18, I travelled to Hong Kong where I lived and worked for a number of years.  North Devon was the next 6 years and then back “home” where I married and had two children.  I joined Gargrave School in February 2010, and gained a level 4 diploma in school business management in 2015.  I enjoy gardening, meeting friends, riding my motorbike and walking my dog around the gorgeous area in which we live.

I moved to Skipton over 28 years ago from Rotherham, South Yorkshire because of my husband’s job.  We have 2 children.  My interests are reading, walking and caravanning.  I also have a wish list of places in the world I would like to visit and I’m slowly ticking them off.

I grew up in the North East of England and came to live in Yorkshire in 2005. My career was in Sales, Marketing and Finance, until I raised my family. I have two sons and a daughter. My hobbies include hiking, gardening and holidays. I’m a big history fan and read lots of history books and love music!.

I started work at Gargrave school in September 2015.  Prior to that I worked with children and their families.  I have 2 children and enjoy spending time with family and friends.

I moved to Gargrave from London in 2016 after ten years working in charity PR and communications. In my spare time, I enjoy day trips with my lovely family, going to the theatre, gardening and anything to do with art and craft.

I was brought up in Ilkley and attended Ilkley Grammar School.  I moved to Gargrave 20 years ago and I have 3 children all of who attended Gargrave School.  I worked at Gargrave Pre-School before joining the team as Out of School Club leader and MSA.  I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, walking our puppy and going to the cinema.

I grew up in North Yorkshire moving to the Skipton area when I was 7 and attending Carleton Primary School & SGHS. I spent 10 years in Australia, working for Yachting Australia, then moved to South West Scotland and finally back home to Yorkshire in 2014. I have four children, and I am also very involved in Girl Guiding in the area.

I grew up in Folkestone, Kent. I went to university in Bristol. I lived there for 19 years in which time I enjoyed a career in accountancy, met my husband and we had our daughter. In 2017 after visiting friends in the Yorkshire Dales we fell in love with the area and relocated here. I run my own fabric business and love sewing in my spare time.
