Amy Allen - SENCo

I started my Further Education with a degree in Psychology (BSc Hons London) following which I gained Qualified Teacher Status in the UK. After completing an MA in Primary Education – Special Needs (Leicester), a Diploma in Counselling, Youth Counselling and English as an Additional Language, I completed a qualification in SEN Coordination and I am currently working towards a Masters in Inclusive Education. Parallel to this, I became an Advanced Autism Specialist in July and am now working towards becoming an Applied Behaviour Analysist, to support children with Behavioural Difficulties and who have Autism Spectrum Disorders. Having worked in education for 18 years all of which have been with children with special educational needs aged 2-18, I have experience working with, supporting, advising and writing programmes for young people with a range of difficulties. These include dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia and ADHD, global difficulties, autistic spectrum disorders, Speech and Language difficulties, Fine and Gross Motor Difficulties and numerous other conditions. As a mother of 4 children, I have first hand experience of the developmental stages and ages of children and as their ages range from 4 – 16, I am kept busy all the time. I enjoy travelling and experiencing life with them now we are back in UK after spending the past 17 years in Asia. I am looking forward to the next stage of my life being part of St Bartholomew’s and the wider community it is involved in.

Michael Applewhite - Class Teacher

I am a member of the Key Stage One team, working in Year 2. I trained to be a teacher through the Schools Direct programme ran by Derby University and Ashmount Special School four years ago and have loved teaching ever since! I am also a swimming teacher and have been for nine years. Having the chance to teach children swimming, showed me the impact one individual can make and inspired me to become a primary school teacher. In my spare time, I enjoy socialising with my family and friends, swimming, cycling and spending many afternoons down at Welford Road watching the Leicester Tigers.

Janette Armstrong - Midday Supervisor

I have lived in Quorn since the age of 5 and am now married with 3 grown up sons and 1 daughter. The boys all attended St Bartholomew’s school although my daughter went to Sacred Hearts Primary School in Loughborough. I have worked with children in various capacities since 1977 and am currently also employed at a residential college for students with special needs. In my spare time I enjoy walking my dogs around our lovely countryside and looking after my 2 cats. I feel very privileged working at St Bartholomew’s, it is a beautiful place to work.

Jaimie Ball - Learning Support Assistant

My family and I have lived in Quorn since 2013. We moved across from Nottingham, where I taught Science & Psychology to students from Y7 to Y13 for almost 20 years. I have a particularly keen interest in all aspects of Biology, Anatomy & Psychology and, as I fancied a new challenge, I recently decided to retrain as a Fitness Professional. My ultimate passion is working with families & young people, which sits perfectly alongside my role leading the Wednesday Beaver colony and of course my role as a part time Learning Support Assistant at St Bartholomew’s!

Jane Barrass – Class Teacher – Music Co-ordinator

I am a member of the Key Stage 1 team, teaching year 1. Each day is different and exciting! At home, I enjoy walking my dog (Nugget), cycling, and gardening. I also love to sing and play music. I have three children who are all growing up far too quickly for me!

Fiona Benson – Learning Support Assistant

In my spare time I enjoy baking (which I am yet to perfect!), running, reading, holidays and spending time with my family and friends.

Shirley Bood – Class Teacher – Geography Co-ordinator

I've worked at St. Bartholomew's for 17 years teaching in years 1, 3 4 and Foundation Stage. Before coming to St. Bartholomew's, I taught in Leicester for 2 years. Before that, I taught in Newcastle for 3 years, and I began my teaching career in Liverpool, my home town - I taught there for 4 years. Good job I enjoy teaching Geography! I don't have alot of spare time with my 2 children, but any time I have is usually spent sewing costumes for dancing- since my daughter and I both enjoy our tap and modern dancing lessons, and performing in shows twice a year. I also spend alot of my spare time on football touchlines, not only supporting my son, but cheering on my favourite team, Liverpool.

Judith Boston – Head Teacher

I began my teaching career in 1981, after gaining at 2:1 (Hons) degree in history from the University of Leeds, followed by a PGCE at the University of Leicester in primary education. Since then, I have taught in 6 different schools during my career with a break to bring up my two daughters. I became a head teacher in 2002, following NPQH and in 2009 the school was awarded an outstanding grading from Ofsted and similarly from the Diocese. The school became a national support school and as a National Leader of Education, the staff were able to support other schools. In 2013 I joined St Bart's and I continue to have immense passion to help children to maximise their potential through their educational experience at primary school. I believe that St Bart's is a wonderful environment in which to thrive and learn and central to this are the excellent relationships throughout the school. I have two daughters - one holds a Royal Academy of Engineering Fellowship for research at the University of Sheffield specialising in energy storage and nano-technology and my younger daughter has completed a Dphil in twelfth century legal history at Trinity College, Oxford. When not at work I enjoy being outdoors - cycling, running, gardening and I am a keen ornithologist. I am passionate about teaching and love being part of the school.

Colette Bujdoso – Learning Support Assistant

I have two children both of whom have been through St Bartholomew’s. My husband and I have been linked to the school for many years and I am lucky enough to have a rewarding role as a 'Learning Support Assistant' following completion of an NVQ3. In my spare time I attend various fitness classes in an attempt to keep up with the children at school and home. I enjoy cross stitch, reading and cooking but only when my mum/taxi role allows. Socialising with friends and family is important to me (another reason to exercise).

Alison Cherry – Learning Support Assistant

I live in Quorn with my husband and 2 children and have worked at St Barts since 2011. In my spare time I am a keen runner and leader with Barrow Running Club. I love to be outdoors and try to run, swim or cycle everyday. I am an avid reader and belong to a local book club.

Sonya Campbell – Assistant Head Teacher & Class Teacher

I have had the pleasure of being part of the St Bartholomew's team for many years. During this time, I have taught children ranging from Year 2 to Year 6 and have seen many changes as our school has grown and developed during the years. I studied for my PGCE at Loughborough University and also achieved the National Professional Qualification for Headship (NPQH) in 2008. I currently teach a Year 2 class for 3 days a week and support the wider management of the school for the other 2 days. Recently, I led the "Badger Trail" project consisting in the creation of a 300m track with various physical obstacles along its length. This has provided a significant boost to the general physical well-being of all the children within the school. I work closely with our PTA (FOSBA) to ensure their funds are used effectively to support all the children's learning experience. As the co-ordinator of educational visits, I believe in the positive impact that well-organised school visits have on children's learning and development. In my spare time, I work hard to keep myself fit doing a range of physical activities. These include indoor cycling, running, yoga and PT. I also enjoy gardening and growing things in my greenhouse.
