Meet the Team
Miss Jarimba - Class Teacher
Hello, my name is Miss Jarimba and I am lucky to be teaching in Year One this year. I am looking forwards to continuing to develop my knowledge and skills as a teacher at Wellgate. One of the most rewarding things about being a teacher is being part of a child’s learning journey and being able to make a positive difference in their lives. I enjoy learning about animals – there is always a fun, interesting fact to learn. I like spending my free time with my family, going on walks and exploring new places. I love the colours purple and orange and eating chocolate chip cookies!
Mrs Allott - Teaching Assistant
Hello, my name is Mrs Allott and I am excited to be working in Year One this year. I love my job because I get a sense of achievement when I help children to make progress and achieve something they have found difficult. I am most proud of my family and enjoy spending quality time with them. My favourite country to visit is Greece because I love the food – especially the cheeses and olive bread! I love the colour aquamarine and eating out in restaurants.
Mrs Hallam - Teaching Assistant
Hello, my name is Mrs Hallam and I am very lucky to have been given a job at such a lovely school. I work across both Year One classes and love each new day supporting such enthusiastic children. I enjoy education because there are always new things to discover and learn – education allows us all to do this. I love to learn about lots of things but I specialise in music and find it fascinating learning about Ancient History. I find it interesting how things came to be. One of my favourite subjects is Egyptology. I grew up in Carnlough, a quiet little village on the coast of Northern Ireland. It has a lovely beach, beautiful green fields and a little harbour where Sammy the Seal lives! I have many hobbies including playing in my band, playing on the Xbox and reading fantasy novels.
Miss Beasley - Teaching Assistant
Hello, my name is Mrs Carr and I am a Teaching Assistant. I would describe myself as creative, caring and hard-working. I enjoy being part of a child's learning journey and watching them grow. When I am not at school, I enjoy spending time with my family, especially my two boys, at our caravan by the sea. I love Strawberry ice-cream and enjoy baking and arts and crafts. I enjoy learning new skills and can communicate using Makaton. When I was little there was a wood behind my back garden which made for great adventures
