Mrs Hayley Reynolds |
I studied Theology at Chester and St Martins University. I started my teaching career in Staffordshire, before moving to Poole in Dorset and then finally moving to Devon where I have taught since 2006. I currently lead Early Years, Early Reading and Phonics, History & Geography. I believe in getting to know each child individually, knowing their strengths and how to help and support them to be the best that they can be. I love being one of the first people who get to have an impact on a child's educational journey; getting them excited and enthused for lifelong learning is a very special gift to give! |

I studied for my BEd Primary History here in Exmouth, at Rolle College. Since becoming qualified I have taught in a variety of settings including schools in Luton and Devon, across both key stages. Currently I am Art and Design and Design and Technology coordinator. My absolute favourite part of teaching is seeing that excitement and pride children get when everything just clicks into place. I try and make my lessons fun, exciting and hands on so that children can enjoy learning just as much as I do. |
