Hi I’m Alison. I have worked in education for the last 18 years as both an LSA and cover teacher. I love teaching and really take pleasure in seeing the children gain confidence and flourish - every little step is a victory. I think it’s really important to support a child in their learning in a way that suits them. I have had training in dyslexia support and conducted dyslexia screening tests and visual stress tests.

I really enjoy taking a creative approach to teaching. I have absolutely loved developing and planning work for children who remain in school while their peers are on residential trips. We have great fun and do lots of hands on learning. I have also enjoyed developing a cooking curriculum to encourage children to explore new ideas. This has involved working closely with a local award winning chef.

Outside of work I am a mum to 5 children and a labradoodle! I love sewing, knitting and crochet. I also enjoy walking my dog in the forest and at the beach. I love cooking and can often be found experimenting with new recipes.
