Brockholes Wood Community Primary School and Nursery

Thank you for showing interest in our wonderful school. I am Miss Barber, the Headteacher at Brockholes Community Primary School, a place where the aim is to provide the best possible educational experiences for our children. My main aim for this school is to ensure children are happy, nurtured and safe whilst having insightful and enriching learning opportunities.

I qualified from Edge Hill University in June 2009 with a BA Hons degree in Primary Education and have been teaching in a school since January 2010. I have been privileged enough to work with children at many different schools with varying contexts and challenges and have always had a passion for helping and educating others. In September 2018, I became the Deputy Head at Brockholes and fell in love with the children, staff and community immediately. I knew this was the place I was meant to be! In September 2023, I started my next journey as the school's Headteacher.

I have a two-year-old child myself and can empathise with you all, in knowing the importance of the search for a preschool, where my child would feel at their happiest because ultimately, that is what we all want. A happy child. I urge you to come and visit our school if you are interested so that you can see for yourself, how happy our children and staff are and how much they love their learning. We love meeting new people and adding people to our Brockholes Family. I hope to be able to introduce myself in person to you soon.

Thank you for showing an interest in Brockholes Wood Community Primary School. I am Mr Harding and I am the Deputy Headteacher at our wonderful school. We are a values-based school that creates a warm, friendly environment where everyone feels happy and safe. I qualified from Bangor University in 2016 with a BA Hons Degree in Primary Education and have been teaching in schools since. I became Deputy Headteacher at Brockholes Wood in September 2023 after working at my previous school in Manchester for 7 years. I have been given such a warm welcome since joining the ‘Brockholes Family’ and know that we all share the same passion for helping and educating our pupils so that they get the best possible start to their education. I look forward to meeting you and showing you our fantastic school.

I am Mrs Nuttall and I have been a teacher at Brockholes Wood School for many years where my role has involved teaching across all year groups. During this time, I have loved supporting and teaching the children to achieve their very best potential.

Since 2019 I have taught part-time in Pre-school, where I work all day on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. I really enjoy teaching in the EYFS, it’s amazing seeing the children grow and become confident, independent learners ready to start their school journey in Reception class.

In pre-school we love reading stories! My favourite author for young children’s books is
Julia Donaldson.

I am a busy mum of two children and in my spare time, I enjoy walking my dog.

My goal is to continue to support the children at Brockholes Wood and provide the Preschool children with an engaging and exciting learning environment where they continue to thrive and become independent learners.

My name is Gillian Leech and I am a full-time level three Teaching Assistant in the pre-school class. As the full-time member of staff in pre-school, I feel like I am able to provide consistency and therefore build a good relationship with both the children and the parents. I have worked in schools for over twenty years and in pre-school for eight years. I love working with the younger children and helping them to grow and shine.
