Miss A Emsley
Hello, my name is Miss Emsley. I am in my forth year of teaching. This is my second year at Sandhill and I’m really excited to begin my journey here as an ECT. I have 2 degrees, one in Childhood Studies and also one in Early Years and Primary Education (3–7). I love working in Early Years and supporting children as they build their confidence in a school setting. Outside of school, I enjoy going on holiday, going shopping and spending time with my beautiful goddaughter. I have two border terriers, Frank and Lenny who are always full of energy! I love going to Starbucks and drinking iced coffee!
Mrs C Swift
Hello I’m Mrs Swift. I love working in early years helping our youngest children settle into school life. Before I came to Sandhill, I was a childminder for 10 years, I also have an NVQ in childcare and development and I am first aid trained. I love teaching the little ones phonics – watching them learn their first sounds is amazing. I am very happily married with 3 grown up children and a house full of pets. In my spare time I enjoy walking my dogs and watching box sets on Netflix with my husband. I’m looking forward to getting to know all the new children this year.
