All About Mrs Auton:

I was born in Kent, England and have also lived in Essex. When I was young, I moved to the Midsomer Norton area and have stayed living in the same area since. I have a 12-year-old cocker spaniel called Tilly and she is very cheeky. I enjoy taking her on walks however when it is cold, she prefers to hide in bed! 

Before teaching, I studied psychology at the University of South Wales and then trained to be a teacher at Bath Spa in 2017.  

When I am not teaching, I like to travel- especially to cities. My favourite city that I have visited was Budapest as the architecture was beautiful. I also enjoy music and going to music festivals. (Glastonbury is my favourite). My favourite singers are Taylor Swift and Harry Styles and my favourite song is Blank Space by Taylor Swift. 

I am also a keen football fan. I enjoy watching football and have a dream to watch a game at Anfield one day. I also enjoy having debates with children such as who is better: Messi or Ronaldo? Or which football team is the best? (I think Liverpool!) 

 I love teaching because every day is different and exciting. There are lots of fun things to do and I like seeing children passionate about their learning. I also like to see children grow in confidence and achieve things they have wanted to do. In school, my favourite subjects to teach are history and geography. I also have a passion for reading and writing and love seeing children demonstrate their creativity through writing. My favourite children's author is Roald Dahl and my favourite books are Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Matilda.

All About Mr Swarbooke:

My vision for high-quality education is to create experiences that empower every child to become a confident, successful learner. I am committed to the highest standards of teaching and learning and believe that every child deserves teachers who believe in them and can meet their individual needs.

To achieve this, I advocate for a rich and diverse curriculum that extends beyond the classroom, offering opportunities for children to step outside their comfort zones, build confidence, and develop a sense of intrinsic joy in learning. This approach is rooted in strong values, high expectations, and a shared sense of global responsibility—while ensuring that fun remains at the heart of the journey.
