My interests: Family and friends are very important to me and I spend lots of time with them, as well as my bright orange cat: Clyde. One of my favourite pastimes is playing football and I am also an avid Liverpool supporter. Apart from sport, I also love all types of music and love to visit new places around the world when I can. I’ve been a teacher for 6 years now and I particularly enjoy teaching English and reading the wide array of outstanding stories that the children in my class create.

A fun fact about me: When I was young I entered a competition in the Chester Chronicle newspaper, to my surprise, I won 48 packets of Hula Hoops.
Mrs L Sparks
Teaching Assistant
My interests: Over the years lots of my interests have come from following my children's sporting activities. My son has played football from a very young age and I have 100% been that football Mum on the sidelines shouting off side!! My daughter was a keen gymnast and dancer and I have spent years travelling around the country watching her compete in gym comps. So much of my life has been spent putting everything into my family and making special memories for us to treasure.
Now my children have become young adults I have found myself enjoying walks with my husband and up until recently eating out. I have a love for King Charles spaniels and love our dog Marni.
As a young adult myself I used to love to keep fit. I was part of a running club and loved to play netball. I am planning to take up some of these interests again in the future.
A fun fact about me: My daughter and I made it on to TV in the audition section of Dance Mom's UK (I was not auditioning). We got to meet Jenifer Ellison and the rest of the crew.
