Our Teacher - Mrs Dunstan

I feel very lucky to work with such an amazing team at The Batt Primary School. I am Assistant Headteacher and Year 2 Teacher. I have been teaching for 29 years and I have seen many changes in education. I thoroughly enjoy making a difference to the lives of children and I am very fortunate that I absolutely love my job! Every day is different, as is every child, and that is what makes teaching so special to me. 

My daughter, Holly, works as a TA in school and I also have an older son,Charlie, who is currently studying medicine at Warwick University. At the weekends I love to spend precious time with my children, my husband, my mum and my wider family. We all thoroughly enjoy walking our dog Ivy and going on holidays together. Ialso enjoy cooking, baking and entertaining my friends and family in my free time.

Teaching is my vocation and I feel very privileged to work with such wonderful staff,parents and children at The Batt School.

Our Teacher - Mrs McGuire

 I originally trained and worked as an Occupational Therapist, but once my own children started school I began working in schools; first as a parent helper, then as an unqualified teacher of secondary aged children, before training for my PCGE at Westminster College.

This year I have been teaching at theThe Batt School for 20 years. I did my final PGCE placement here and have been here ever since. I began at The Batt School in Year 3 and have remained in the Juniors teaching Years 3,4,5 and 6, although I would just as happily teach infants. I'm now a grandmother and am immensely enjoying looking after my granddaughter two days a week. I've been the RE lead here since I qualified. I love teaching and watching the children learn and succeed. 

In my free time, I enjoy time with my family and friends, reading, going to conferences, visiting new places and dining out, walking, cycling, gardening and swimming.
