Meet the Team at Dunbroch School
Head Teacher
Karen Carrington
Nine years ago, I started at Cambian, progressing from Pastoral Manager to Headteacher, after many years spent holding various different roles within educational settings.
I have a desire to see every student able to follow their dreams, and believe that a bespoke education, which engages the interests, aptitudes and abilities of the individual, combined with outstanding pastoral care, is the best way to help our young people achieve this.
Art Instructor/Teaching Assistant and Cleaner
Martha Lavery
My name is Martha and I am an Art Instructor/Teaching Assistant at Dunbroch School. I came to Dunbroch after finishing a Bachelors of Arts Degree in Fine Art at De Montfort University; specialising in printmaking for two years. My skills are diverse when it comes to mediums and surfaces and I enjoy sculpture, painting and drawing too. I found a deep passion for printmaking and focused my final project on the subject. I am always searching for new discoveries to expand my learning with the Fine Arts. I thrive within all areas to contemporary art and the processes to creating. I exhibit my work in art galleries regularly and currently exhibiting in the ‘Artefacts Live’ Exhibition in the Leicester Museum. Martha also supports the school with cleaning.

I’ve always had a passion for helping others and this is what drawn me to the Pastoral role.

English Teacher
Rebecca Griffiths
I’m Beckie and I became an English teacher way back in 1998, after spending four years studying at Derby and Nottingham universities. I have a passion for learning, about anything and everything, so teaching allows me to be a continual student whilst I’m encouraging young people in their appreciation and understanding of language and literature.
I have four children, who I spent twelve years home-educating, during which time, I learnt to build dens, light fires, and had all sorts of crazy, outdoors fun.
I’m currently enjoying the challenge of trying to get a decent note out of my new Alto Saxophone, and jump around on the badminton court whenever I get chance.
