Mrs Shires
​Hello, my name is Mrs Shires and I am a cleaner and an SMSA during lunchtime. I am caring, determined and incredibly hard working. I love working in a school because education means there is always something new to learn. I love learning new challenges that are given to me too. I am very proud of my two daughters. Positive and hard-working people really inspire me and I aim to be the same too. My star sign is Libra and I love to visit Germany.

Mrs Harrison
​Hello, my name is Mrs Harrison and I am a cleaner and an SMSA at Wellgate. I love working in a school as it is rewarding seeing children learn and grow. I am very energetic, kind and happy. This helps me to do my job well. I really enjoy cooking new recipes and watching gymnastics on TV. My favourite colour is aquamarine and I love to visit the Canary Islands.

Mrs Shaw
​Hello, my name is Mrs Shaw and I am a cleaner and an SMSA at Wellgate, where I have worked for many years. I am caring, trustworthy and hardworking. I am most proud of my family and I am inspired by Martin Luther King. The hardest thing that I have ever accomplished is my first big cross stitch – it was incredible! My favourite children’s book to read is Black Beauty. If I could choose one country to visit, it would be Scotland.

Mrs Richardson
Hello, my name is Mrs Richardson and I am a cleaner and an SMSA at Wellgate. I love working in education as I think it is fascinating being given the opportunity to find solutions to problems that I might be faced with. I have a daughter, Libby, and I am incredibly proud of her. My mum is my biggest inspiration. I love visiting the Canary Islands with my family and taking in the beautiful views and sampling the tasty food. I love to watch Tennis and would like to go to Wimbledon one year. ​

Miss Turner - Teaching AssistantHello, my name is Miss Turner and I am one of the Teaching Assistants in Year Two. I love working in Year Two because of the determination of the children. There is nothing more rewarding than supporting a child and them being successful. I am most proud of my two children. I love stationery and enjoy buying new pens and pencils! I cannot wait to spend another year in Year Two working with such enthusiastic children. ​
Picture
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 Two 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. ​

Mrs Bedford - Teaching Assistant

I’m incredibly organised and determined – this helps me thoroughly in my role as a teaching assistant. I’ve worked hard to achieve the qualifications that I have and that is something that I’m really proud of – I’m able to share my work ethic and thirst for knowledge with the children which I work with whilst supporting them in being successful in their learning. I really enjoy seeing children achieve their milestones.
I love reading and being with my family. I would really like to learn more about science and one day, I would really like to be able to speak Spanish. I think Manchester is an exciting city and if my family weren’t close by, that is somewhere I would like to live.
My favourite ice-cream flavour is chocolate and I love eating this when I visit the cinema.
Picture
Mrs Eaton - Teaching Assistant
I absolutely love my job – it brings a smile to my face every single day. I love working with children and supporting them in everything that they do. I’m often told that I’m an incredibly kind and caring person and I believe that this helps me in the job that I do.
I have two daughters who I’m incredibly proud of. I love spending time with them and my husband in Scotland which is my favourite place on the planet and it also sells the most amazing ice – cream (Cream O’Galloway Chocolate Orange).
I didn’t used to enjoy doing maths but Mrs Woodcock has changed that and I absolutely love it now. I really enjoy supporting children in their maths learning – especially those who find it tricky as I understand how they might be feeling.
My favourite ever children’s book is ‘Peace At Last’ which is about a family of bears.
Picture
Miss Hough - Teaching Assistant
Hello, my name is Miss Hough and I am one of the teaching assistants in Year 5. I enjoy making a difference in a child's life in a different way, helping encourage interests in art, crystals and rock minerals and animals. I love to learn about the world around us and how to improve my own skills. I like to learn arty things, herbs and plants and trees - their names, uses etc. I love to draw and read - two of my favourite books are Call of the Wild by Jack London, and also his book White Fang, because it tells the story from an animal's point of view. I love happy electro-pop 80s music like Smalltown Boy, Don't You Want Me Baby, Don't Go Breaking My Heart - and lots of heavy rock music!
