Mrs Bywater

SENDCo

Mrs Williams

Learning Mentor

Outside school she enjoys spending time with her husband and two daughters, going to the theatre and going on relaxing holidays to hot and sunny destinations. She is a keen swimmer and fitness enthusiast. On a weekend during the summer you won't find her in a local shopping centre but you will find her watching a local game of cricket with a nice, cool drink!

Mrs black

Year 3 Teacher

When she gets a spare moment, she likes nothing more than shopping, eating or relaxing by watching a film. Even though maths is her absolute favourite, Miss Wright also loves to read- this tends to be in the holidays when she can switch off and relax. Miss Wright enjoys travelling the world and has visited Indonesia, Mexico, Jamaica and America in the last 2 years. With regards to hobbies, Miss Wright seems to take up a new hobby every few months as, so far this year, she has done: boxing, cycling, running and dancing. Let's hope she can find a hobby she can stick to; she is open to suggestions and trying new things!

Mr Clarke

Year 3 Teacher

He loves the performing arts and loves acting in plays and playing a variety of instruments in bands-particularly on drums, which are his true passion. He also loves having fun with his family, reading when he gets the time and walking with his two dogs. His favourite subject is music, but he loves teaching just about every subject on the curriculum! 

Mrs Tait

Year 3 Teacher

When not looking after her own mini 'zoo' (dogs, cats, guinea pigs, geckos, bearded dragons and fish) she can be found supporting her favourite rugby team Castleford Tigers with her family. She is passionate about art, enjoys visiting family, eating out and reads whenever she has the time. 

Mr Young

Year 5 Teacher

When not in work, Mr Young loves nothing more than being in the Yorkshire Dales. So far this year, he has hiked up Snowden (the highest mountain in Wales), Scar Fell Pike (the highest mountain in England) and conquered the "Yorkshire Three Peaks" - he even has the blisters to prove it!

Mr Greatorex

Year 5 Teacher

 When he isn't working, Mr Greatorex is usually playing one sport or another. He is a big fan of football and rugby, but plays water polo as his main sport and was lucky enough to represent Great Britain in the past. Mr Greatorex also has a passion for travelling, and had lived in Australia for two years before moving back to the UK and studying to become a teacher.

Mr Boylan

Year 6 Teacher

His favourite subjects are history, science and geography. He loves the outdoors and any outdoor activities, often spending holidays in the mountains of the Lake District, or hiking across the moors; when it comes to the outdoor activities, you name it and Mr Boylan has probably done it! When he isn't out exploring mountains and moorland, Mr Boylan can often be found exploring museums and castles instead!

Mrs Carthy

Year 6 Teacher

Mrs Carthy loves to run and is always on the lookout for a half marathon that she can train for and take part in. When she is not busy training, she loves to spend family time with her husband and 2 children, enjoying days out and especially having trips to the seaside!

Mrs Stephenson

Year 6 Teacher

Mrs Stephenson loves to spend time with her husband and her young son, enjoying days out and visiting family, who live both near and far. If she does ever get a minute to relax, she likes reading a good book or enjoying the latest box-set on television!

Mr Potter

Year 6 Teacher 

Mrs  Houghton

Currently on maternity leave

Mrs Houghton loves to relax: walking the dog, doing yoga or curling up with a good book. When she is not doing any of these things she can usually be founding eating in her favourite restaurants or watching a good film at the cinema with her husband!
