Year 6

Mrs A Whitley

Teacher (USA)

My interests: I love spending time and going out with my family and friends, particularly my little girl. Sport also plays a big part in my life and I play football, usually in defence, for Northop Hall Ladies FC and I am also the Captain. Going to the gym is something else that I really enjoy and I support Liverpool. This is my 20th year in teaching and my favourite subjects to teach are PE and Maths. 

A fun fact about me: When I was younger I was a mascot for Liverpool and I walked onto the pitch with John Barnes, who is my all time favourite player.  


Mr M Haxell

Teacher (Egypt)

My interests:  I love all sports and keeping fit and I like to play football with my friends and go paddling on my kayak. I like all things computing and reading books about history. I’ve been a teacher for 5 years now and I love doing fun lessons and activities with the children I teach.

A fun fact about me: When I was younger, I once fell into a penguin enclosure at a zoo and got chased by a lot of very hungry penguins. 

Mr S Davies 

Teaching Assistant

My interests: I love spending time with my family and socialising with friends. I enjoy all sports, both watching and participating, but football is a particular passion, especially Liverpool whom I've followed all over Europe. I coach a local u11's football team and am a qualified swimming instructor.

Fun fact: 2 truths & 1 lie, but which is which. I've swam with dolphins, I have metal wires in my arm, I've never had a birthday in England.

I love visiting and exploring new places, one of my favourite places I have travelled to is Rome.

A fun fact about me: When I was young I entered  a competition in the Chester Chronicle newspaper, to my surprise, I won 48 packets of Hula Hoops.

I walk twice a day with my dog Luna who is a Staffy cross and has boundless energy.

I’ve been lucky enough to travel quite a bit and have lived in numerous places including Hong Kong and  Germany for 10 years which is where I first went to work in schools.

I love hosting murder mystery parties for my family and watching the competitiveness of siblings trying to out act each other .
