I joined the school in September 2025, fulfilling a lifelong dream to live and work in Cornwall. Trythall was the school that tempted me to make the leap and move away from my family, friends and previous school in the Midlands. There is something special about Trythall from the moment you enter the rugged grounds, to meeting the staff and children. It can only be described as Ubuntu - "I am because we are." which is fostered in all members of the school. I am passionate about promoting children's curiosity through allowing them to lead their learning and following their curiosity to know and remember more. I firmly believe that children learn more when they are involved and the curriculum at Trythall is embedded in active, purposeful learning. I look forward to working with you.

I joined Trythall in 2014 after 8 years as Manager and SENCO of a local nursery and now I work with all ages from 2-11. I am inspired by helping all children enjoy and appreciate their connectedness to each other and to the natural world - in other words, Ubuntu. I am happiest when the children are happy - usually when getting muddy in the woods, on the local moors, by the sea or in our beautiful school grounds.
