A message from your new teacher
- I have been teaching for 29 years. I am pleased to share that I have had the privilege of the last 6 almost 7 years involved with teaching at Benarty Primary School. I have always provided a safe, nurturing environment enabling the amazing staff with an ethos of unlocking our core values of respect, inclusion and responsibility of achievement in all.
- Teaching at Benarty in the very heart of Scotland is my passion. Local / National Historical themes are intertwined in my learning as I share my knowledge of area to promote a sense of pride, respect and care for our environment.
- What you are looking forward to with your new class – To share my experience of inclusivity for all. To unlock potential.
- What you hope to achieve with your new class – A sense of safety to provide daily opportunity to nurture and achieve.
- A message to parents – We use the Seesaw application for the sharing of information and pictures of the children engaged in learning. We also use telephone for communication for information if deemed appropriate. I have always prided myself in approachability and encourage parental involvement in set times throughout the year via open times.
- We look forward to welcoming the children for the new term!
