Favourite Teaching Moment
I can honestly say that I have enjoyed every minute of my teaching career at Oystermouth Primary School. Every day, a pupil says or does something that makes me laugh or fills me with pride.
One particular moment stands out when I was the Year 2 teacher: a very shy pupil who struggled with confidence contributed to a class assembly, moving everyone to tears. Watching her transformation was incredibly rewarding.
Being the Headteacher of Oystermouth Primary School is the best job in the world!
