My own children keep me very busy. I love to cook and I am always trying new ingredients, recipes or foods. I am also a massive fan of F1 and spend most of my Sunday afternoons tuned in!

Meet your teacher
mr pedley
I have been teaching for 15 years and I thoroughly enjoy my job! As a teacher, my door is always open for you to discuss your child’s academic and personal growth.
My family and friends are an important part of my life and I enjoy spending time with my 2 children. I am a huge Sheffield United fan and enjoy watching them home and away. Film, music and reading play a big part in my spare time to keep me busy when I am away from the classroom.
