Oak Class 2019 - 2020

Miss Webb

I qualified as a teacher in 1994 and my first degree is in art; a subject about which I am passionate and in which I maintain a personal interest. In more recent years, I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to undertake a Master's degree, where I researched schools' approaches to the teaching of writing. I found this really interesting and enjoyed the chance to work with colleagues in other schools, and to investigate best practice in learning and teaching. I have taught children across the primary phase, including in a township school in Johannesburg, South Africa. This was an amazing experience, that will stay with me forever, as it was challenging and rewarding in equal measure. I think teaching is a fabulous job because every day is different. I enjoy sharing children’s learning journey in our wonderful school and feel privileged to be part of the team.

In my spare time, I enjoy gardening and dream of having a smallholding. I've taken the first step towards this, by training to be a beekeeper and keeping hives of bees in my garden. They are truly fascinating creatures to learn about, and the added bonus is that they supply delicious honey.
