Pupil Premium Lead

Curriculum Lead 

I feel very privileged and proud to be the headteacher of Northway Infant School and I love coming to our wonderful school every day to see what learning is going to take place. All the children are the heartbeat of our school and watching them learn, grow and SHINE makes being a teacher the best job in the world!

When I am not in school, I love spending time with my family and walking my two dogs, Enzo and Kingsley. You might find me playing tennis or even paddleboarding on the rivers around Tewkesbury!

PSHE/RSHE Lead 

Hello! I am Mr Williams and I'm thrilled to be joining the Northway Infant School team as your Deputy Headteacher. I teach in Reception which is an absolute privilege, as I get to help the children at the very beginning of their journey in school.

When I'm not in Red Class, you'll probably find me either singing down the corridor or playing the piano in the hall. In my spare time, I love spending time with my family, running, swimming and reading. I love to read lots of different types of books; The Detective Dog by Julia Donaldson is one we always read in our house, but my all-time favourite books have to be Harry Potter! 

 Mrs Tessa Jackson

Special Educational Needs and Disability Co-ordinator

Mental Health Lead

Inclusion 

I believe that all children should have the support that they need to SHINE. Some children find it harder to learn than other children their age. It is my job to help the teachers to make sure that these pupils get the extra support that they need. I enjoy working with different professionals, inside and outside of school, to build a team around a child and help them to be the best that they can be.

In my spare time I love walking my dog Mabel and spending time exploring the outdoors with my two young children

I believe that fostering a love of learning and providing a space where children can grow and shine as individuals is vital at the start of their education journey. 

I enjoy seeing the children flourish and am now privileged to see some return as adults with the next generation.

When not working I love spending time with my young grandchildren, and love to dance...(with two left feet!!)  and reading.

Hello, I’m Mrs Gibson, I love teaching and take pride in sparking children’s curiosity, encouraging them to explore, discover and ask questions about the world around them.

It is such a privilege to work with children at the beginning of their journey of learning and discovery and I strongly believe that fostering a love of learning in the early years creates the best foundations to build upon.  I love working at Northway Infants where everyone is passionate about creating the right environment so that children develop the confidence, resilience, skills and self-belief to give everything a go and provide the opportunities for everyone to SHINE!

No two days are the ever the same at Northway and children's laughter, curiosity and determination make every day special. 

I am very much an outdoors person and love walking, camping and crafting with my family when I am not working.

Each day is filled with wonder and awe at how amazing our pupils are and how well they SHINE in this supportive, caring and nurturing environment. I’m very excited to be back in a teaching role and can’t wait to see how our little stars will astound me each day with their determination, resilience and happiness.

Mrs Maria Taylor

I love working at this school!

It's lovely when the children come to the office and bring the registers each day as I get to see their smiley faces; we have a bit of a chat and giggle which sets me up for the day - there's always a cheery atmosphere around the school and the children are so polite and happy. 

Mrs Susan Jackson

GLA finance assistant 

I love working at Northway Infants. The children are so cheery and constantly remind me why I work in such a fabulous place. Whilst in the middle of spreadsheets and calculations I am often tempted to join in with a tuneful ditty being sang out from the corridor. While not in school I play tennis, netball and have been known to get involved in a bit of am-dram. No wonder I loved 'Bee the Musical'!
