Year 1 

Miss S Hinton

Teacher (Robins Wednesday - Friday)

My interests: I enjoy spending time with my friends and my son who also went to Meadow, and is now in High School. When I'm not being a taxi driver for him and his friends ferrying them to various sporting activities,  I enjoy going away for weekends and finding new places to explore. I trained to be a teacher here at Meadow 9 years ago and loved it so much I never left!

A fun fact about me: I am extremely clumsy and have broken my wrist 5 times!

Mrs J Spencer

Teacher (Robins Monday - Wednesday)

My interests: I love delicious food and enjoy cooking and baking using the fruits and vegetables that I have grown in my garden. I enjoy dancing, swimming and going for walks with friends and family. I love nothing more than finding a bargain and enjoy hunting in charity shops, car boot sales and shop sales for the best buys! My ideal day is a day on the beach where I can relax in the sun with music and a good book, but also bodyboard on the waves and explore in the rockpools with my young children.

I love being a part of the Meadow Primary family and it makes me happy to be able to help and be there for the children and to see them learn. 

A fun fact about me: I am extremely competitive and love playing (but hate losing!) games with friends. If you are in my class, I will play some fun games with you.

Mrs C Clarke

My interests: I love visiting new places with my family and spending time together. I am a member of the zoo and I love the outdoors and exploring. I enjoy travelling and I am always  looking for new adventures.

Interesting fact:

I have been on a camel ride in the Sahara, swam with dolphins and have been kissed by a reindeer.

Mrs K Castell

Teaching Assistant

I have been a teaching assistant for 6 years. I have experience working with all year groups but have a little soft spot for infants. 

I have 5 children. My eldest is 20 and at university and my youngest is 15 months. As you can imagine there is never a dull moment in our house.

Fun facts about me - I have completed a floristy course and I am a keen cake maker. My skills will be put to the test next year as I will be creating my sisters wedding cake and wedding flowers.

Mrs J White

Teaching Assistant

My interests: I love to spend my spare time with my 3 children. The two eldest are now in high school and my youngest currently attends Meadow and is very happy. I love to go and watch mine and my boys favourite team Manchester United. I have been a TA for just over a year, Meadow being my first job and I wouldn’t change it for the world. I love to watch the children learn and grow and building special relationships with them all. 

Fun fact: from the age of 5 I had a pony called “Zoe” together we won lots of gymkhanas, we were the best team and the best of friends

Mrs M Flint

Teaching Assistant

I have been a teaching assistant for the last 10 years and have enjoyed working with lots of children. My husband and I have two teenage children and two Goldendoodles who are called Chloe and Bonnie. They are very cute and we love taking them on long walks in the forest.

My interests include knitting, crochet and painting; and I am very creative and never happy unless I am making something. I love experiencing different cultures and love travelling when I can, especially to Greece - my favourite place! I also love to bake and cook things with my daughter.

For fitness, I like swimming and cycling. However, my favourite sport to watch is Tennis. A fun fact about me is that I did a bungee jump when I was younger in Cyprus, diving off a 150ft crane into the Mediterranean Sea. What was I thinking!

Mrs A Selby

Teaching Assistant 

My Interests: I enjoy spending time with family and my friends, I love to cook and to travel! 

My husband and I love to take our children on adventures and to try new things, paddle boarding is our latest love! 

I spend lots of time cheering on my children at jujitsu and horse riding as well as taking my dog Molly for long walks especially on the beach. 

Fact about me: I have sponsored a little boy in Uganda for three years. I love to keep in touch with him and his family.

Mrs S-J Wharton

Teaching Assistant 

I have two children, a girl who is in high school and a boy in primary. I have been a teaching assistant for a number of years now and absolutely love it! 

I decided to be a teaching assistant after having my own children and taking them to lots of play groups, where I often helped out and we loved going.  It was so much fun and so lovely meeting lots of new people and their children. 

Fun fact about me : I always wanted to be a singer or a dancer when I was a little girl and was always singing and dancing (still do). I did lots of shows on stage which I loved and even got to do a dance show in Disney Land Paris! My all time favourite song is “Proud Mary” and when it comes on there is just no stopping me.
