Reach Foundation is our alternative provision for early years and primary- aged children, offering a supportive and inclusive environment tailored to individual needs. We help children access education in a way that works for them, with a focus on reintegration into mainstream school where possible. Where needed, we also support transitions into specialist provision to ensure the best outcomes.

I'm a primary teacher at Reach Foundation. I have joined Reach after a long career in mainstream primary education, much of it in London, where I spent many years as a school leader.
I'd been searching for a new role and challenge for many years, without knowing exactly what that looked like- until I discovered Reach and their truly child-centered approach to education. I'm so excited to bring my passion for achievement for all, along with my energy, to help build the foundation base alongside such a supportive and dedicated team. For me, there's no greater job than unlocking young people's potential and helping them shine!
People would describe me as sociable, energetic and fun! Outside of work I love theatre, acting, singing and spending time with my family and friends. Like most parents, I'm often playing taxi- whether its the football field, a dance studio, or anywhere else my kids need me!

My friends would describe me as calm, friendly and laid back, I take everything in my stride.
As a busy mum of 3, I'm forever on the go- playing taxi to football matches, after school clubs and swim meets! My family is my everything, but right alongside that is my passion and career of nearly 30 years; working with children and young people.
Reach has given me a new challenge in my career, mixing my week working in the foundation centre as a room lead and also as a Learning support assistant with older students. I feel I learn as much from them as I hope I give to them.
On a weekend I can be found down at the quarry marshalling at the junior park run, shouting and clapping support for all the youngsters giving it their all!
