St Mary's Staff

Welcome to our St Mary's 'Who's Who?' page, where you can meet our teaching and support staff.

My name is Mrs Mills and I have been the headteacher here at St Mary's since September 2020. I have been teaching since 1995, working in the UK and abroad. I love teaching Maths and Grammar, and I try to pop in to all the classes each day to see everyone working hard in school. I am married with three children and as a family we enjoy exploring new places and travelling, going for lots of walks and watching athletics tournaments.

I am Mrs Rawlinson, the School Business Manager at St Mary's. I look after the school finances, manage the personnel and premises functions,and oversee the school office. I love travelling the world with my husband and I am on the management team of a charity, the Bethany Family, which runs an orphanage and school in Tanzania. My husband and I volunteer at the orphanage during the summer holidays.

 

My name is Miss Entwistle and I am the Administration Officer at St Mary's. I love this primary school so much - I've probably spent most of my life here! I have been working here for 11 years, 3 years as the admin officer and I was a teaching assistant in multiple classes before that. I also came to school here when I was a little girl. In my spare time, I like to go swimming.

It is lovely being a part of these families for so long. I have been married for 37 years and have two children and five grandchildren. I enjoy walking and spending time with friends.
