Spotlight on Mrs Sanderson, Head of Pre-Prep

What made you want to work in Early Years?

I love this age of children and having the opportunity to ensure they have the best possible start to their schooling.

What is the best part of your job and why?

Being with the children is the best part of my day – I love their company! I always tell parents that I feel privileged to work alongside their wonderful children.

What does a typical day look like?

Greeting the children in the morning, leading an assembly, popping into lessons, teaching lessons, meeting with parents, showing prospective families around our wonderful school, driving the minibus to swimming, meeting with Mr Morrow to assist with the running of the school, supporting teachers and helping to ensure that Hallfield is the best it can be. Every day is packed with activities!

What do you love most about Hallfield?

That children are at the heart of every decision that is made. I think that a combination of the facilities, the teaching, and the opportunities we provide help to enrich a child’s experience here. We provide the most wonderful environment for the children with things like the beautiful creative cottage that we’ve got to inspire their reading; the opportunities to be taught by specialist teachers; the forest school and a wealth of other activities.
