Mrs Streeter (Raising Standards Lead)
A bit about me: I joined Walderslade Primary in 2014 as a Year 5 teacher. I have worked in many schools, and have experience teaching children in year groups from Foundation Stage to year 6. Although I loved teaching younger children, I have found that I enjoyed spending my time in upper key stage a little more.
Favourite food: This is a difficult question to narrow down for me. I am a big fan of aromatic foods and enjoy the variety of spices that are in Indian cuisines, however I also love Italian food and will eat pretty much any pasta dish that is put in front of me. During the summer months there is nothing better than a good BBQ and enjoying a juicy burger in the garden.
Hobbies: I get great pleasure from exercise and try to be as active as I can. I’m not fussy and will have a go at anything. This has caused me problems in the past when I have taken part in a charity rowing events that left me incapable of walking properly for three weeks. For the past few years I have been a little more sensible and have taken part in Yoga, tai chi and running. My other passion is travelling and I try to book holidays that take me to places that I have never been before. My favourite place in the world is without a doubt Brazil. My time spent fishing for piranhas in the Amazon, whilst giant otters swam past, was one of the most enjoyable days of my life.
Mrs Edwards (Teaching Assistant)
A bit about me: I’m overjoyed to be working at Walderslade Primary School, a place that has become a second home to me since I began volunteering. As a parent myself I have witnessed the magic of shaping young minds and it’s this fulfilment that drives me to encourage more children to reach their full potential. I am excited to about this new chapter as a member of the Walderslade Primary School community. The opportunity to contribute to the educational journey of these bright young individuals fills me with enthusiasm, and I look forward to continuing to inspire and support the growth of these budding talents.
Favourite Foods: I absolutely love all food, but if I had to pinpoint a particular delight it would undeniably be cake (any flavour I'm not fussy).
Hobbies: I love travelling and exploring new destinations, particularly historical places with my family. I have a real passion for art and can regularly be found in my kitchen getting creative with my two children at the weekend.
