Meet your teacher
Miss hayes
Hello! My name is Miss Hayes, and I’m so excited to be your child’s teacher this year. I’ve been part of the Monkwood family for 14 years, and I’ve loved every step of my journey here.
Teaching in the Early Years is truly my passion. I feel incredibly lucky to be part of such a special stage in a child’s life, helping to give them the best possible start to their school journey.
At home, I have two beautiful children and a wonderful fiancé, and we love spending quality time together; especially going on adventures and holidaying in the Lake District. When I get a quiet moment to myself, you’ll usually find me drawing or sketching, as art is one of my favourite ways to relax.
I can’t wait to welcome your amazing children into our class family. It’s going to be a fantastic year!
MEET YOUR Early Years Practitioners
Mrs Woods
Hello I’m Mrs Woods and I’ve been a part of the Monkwood Primary School family for over 25 years, and for the past 17 of those, I’ve had the absolute pleasure of working in Nursery. I truly love what I do, helping our youngest children learn, grow, and discover the world around them is something I find incredibly rewarding.
At home, I’m a proud mum of two wonderful children, and when I’m not in the classroom, there’s nothing I enjoy more than travelling the world with them and my husband, making precious memories as a family.
