Miss Sarah joined the Mini Dragons team at DBS in August 2023. She values the importance of creating a calm, safe and supportive environment where the children feel cared for, have a sense of belonging and develop an understanding of both their own emotions and those of others.\u00a0 An important part of this is developing positive relationships with their families so we can all work together to help each child develop their confidence and independence as they start their school journey at DBS. <\/span><\/p>\n

Miss Sarah was delighted to become Head of Mini Dragons in February 2024 and to lead such a wonderful team of teachers and learning assistants who all work so hard and always put the children\u2019s wellbeing at the heart of everything they do.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Miss Sarah is originally from Bath in England.\u00a0 After a career working on cruise ships and in hotels, Miss Sarah moved into teaching 22 years ago after the birth of her daughter.\u00a0 She initially gained a teaching qualification in Further Education, but an opportunity to work in Early Years at the International School of Como, in Italy led to great passion for the early years.\u00a0 She then returned to the UK where she completed her BA in Early Years with the Open University, and then gained her PGCE with Early Years Teacher Status at Bath Spa University in 2017, focussing on child development from birth to five years old.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Throughout her career, Miss Sarah has always worked in schools with a large community of multilingual children and in her last setting was part of a team who worked on developing policy and practice in this area.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

At the beginning of 2023, Miss Sarah completed an MA in Professional Practice at Bath Spa University.\u00a0 As part of her MA, Miss Sarah carried out an action research project into the benefits of promoting children\u2019s physical activity in school and at home.\u00a0 Then for her dissertation, she focused on the importance of sensory learning in child development, so she loves her classrooms to be full of opportunities for movement, music and sensory exploration.\u00a0 The dissertation has broadened her understanding of the senses which she believes has enhanced her ability to attune to the unique characteristics of every child she works with.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
