Mrs D Mitchelmore - Staff
I am the Assistant head teacher. I have taught in all year groups at Totternhoe and currently teach KS2. My background is in science, and I previously worked as a biomedical scientist before my three children came along! I have been teaching since 2003, which I thoroughly enjoy! I am very keen to develop our curriculum and offer a broad range of learning opportunities here at Totternhoe, making the most of our unique and beautiful site and the surrounding areas. I am privileged to be part of an extremely hardworking and dedicated team of staff and Council members, who all want the best for the children in our care, academically, emotionally and socially. Mrs Harrison - Staff
I am the Assistant Headteacher at Kensworth, a position which I started on secondment and then wanted to stay in. I am proud to work in a school with such a caring and positive ethos and such dedicated and hard working staff. I have seen lots of changes in the school already and am looking forward to working with the Academy Council to ensure the best possible learning experiences and environment for the children. I am married and have three children, who are all very old and grown up. When I'm not at school I enjoy reading, walking my dog and travelling if I find a school holiday bargain. |
