Miss Risbridger (Teacher)
A bit about me: I completed my degree in Primary Education at Canterbury Christ Church University and have been teaching for the past 14 years. I have worked in two Medway primary schools across key stage 1 and 2. I enjoy teaching at Walderslade because it is such a friendly and welcoming school. I love spending time with my family and friends. I have a husband and two children called Harry and Isla.
Favourite Foods: My favourite dinner is roast dinner or toad in the hole.
Hobbies: I love spending time with my children and socialising with family and friends. In 2021 I realised I spent an awful lot of my time chasing around after Harry and Isla without giving much thought to my own hobbies so, I changed that and joined Beginners 2 Runners and have been running twice a week with them since! My husband is still surprised that I’ve found something for me and actually stuck to it!

A bit about me: Its all new to me. I've always loved being around children, but started this journey as a volunteer and realised that I find fulfilment in seeing a child do well after encouraging and helping them. And alas here I am, having completed my training, doing what I love doing most, impacting and influencing great minds.
Favourite food: I'm not fussy about food. I eat anything and everything once its edible.
Hobbies: I love cooking, baking and reading thrillers.
