Mrs S Phillips
Teacher (Robins)
Monday - Wednesday
My interests: I love spending time with my family and friends. As a family, my four daughters, husband and I enjoy swimming and going camping. We also love trips to the beach, whatever the weather! I love music, especially live performances, and enjoy going to concerts when I can. I also love live comedy. Another pastime of mine is reading; I always have a book on the go!
A fun fact about me: I once jumped out of a plane and did tandem skydiving! This was a birthday gift off my brother and was an exhilarating experience!
Mrs J Spencer
Teacher (Robins)
Thursday - Friday
My interests: I love delicious food and enjoy cooking and baking using the fruits and vegetables that I have grown in my garden. I enjoy dancing, swimming and going for walks with friends and family. I love nothing more than finding a bargain and enjoy hunting in charity shops, car boot sales and shop sales for the best buys! My ideal day is a day on the beach where I can relax in the sun with music and a good book, but also bodyboard on the waves and explore in the rockpools with my young children.
I love being a part of the Meadow Primary family and it makes me happy to be able to help and be there for the children and to see them learn.
A fun fact about me: I am extremely competitive and love playing (but hate losing!) games with friends. If you are in my class, I will play some fun games with you.

Miss F Close
Teacher (Wrens)
from November
My interests: I love spending time with my friends, family and my dog Archie. I enjoy taking Archie for long walks along the beach, lots of people say that he looks like a wolf or a polar bear when we are out walking! I have been teaching for over 10 years now, I love being a teacher as I love helping children to learn and most importantly we all have fun in school every day and I always go home smiling.
A fun fact about me: When I was in primary school I played the part of Cinderella in a school play - I think that my princess days are over now (unless you catch me with a wand in my hand in Foundation!)
Mrs M Flint
Teaching Assistant
I have been a teaching assistant for the last 10 years and have enjoyed working with lots of children. My husband and I have two teenage children and two Goldendoodles who are called Chloe and Bonnie. They are very cute and we love taking them on long walks in the forest.
My interests include knitting, crochet and painting; and I am very creative and never happy unless I am making something. I love experiencing different cultures and love travelling when I can, especially to Greece - my favourite place! I also love to bake and cook things with my daughter.
For fitness, I like swimming and cycling. However, my favourite sport to watch is Tennis. A fun fact about me is that I did a bungee jump when I was younger in Cyprus, diving off a 150ft crane into the Mediterranean Sea. What was I thinking!

My favourite hobby is eating, I enjoy cooking, trying out new recipes and secretly helping myself to my daughter's chocolate stash!
To jazz up doing household chores, I like to have a good boogie and a sing-a-long to the current chart music and old throwback classics.
Chill time is curling up on the sofa with a cuppa reading a good book.
A fun fact about me: When I was a child I attended dance classes, tap and ballet. Dancing in pantomimes, competitions and exams. Today I keep fit by doing Zumba to burn off all those chocolate calories!
Last year I did a zumbathon for charity so I hope to do more of these in the future.
My interest: I love to spend time with my family doing lots of fun stuff!
