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.

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 joined Dunbroch School as a vocational instructor in June 2024.

Working with children with special needs has always been something I wanted to be a part of as I enjoy helping them.

I have experience of working in a prison as a Tutor and I love a challenge.

I’m looking forward to being part of the team here at Dunbroch School and working with everyone to help the children be successful in their futures.

I joined Dunbroch School as the Pastoral Support in September 2023.

Before I started working at Dunbroch school I was a support teacher supporting children with additional needs. I’ve always had a passion for helping others and this is what drawn me to the Pastoral role. I really enjoy communicating with others about their different experiences and how we can all learn together from them. I am very much looking forward to progressing in my role and gaining more skills with upcoming courses.

I started at Dunbroch School in November 2023.

I have never done admin-based work before but have always wanted to work within the care industry. I have really enjoyed learning and growing in my admin role and I am looking forward to progressing further. In my spare time I loving spending all my time with my 2 children and going to concerts.

I joined Dunbroch School in May 2023 as a Teaching Assistant.

I really enjoy getting to know new people and comparing our interests, hearing about their current path and opportunities. I also enjoy helping people in any way I can, as to me it feels very rewarding. In my own time I like to go on little adventures and finding new things that I enjoy doing.

I joined Dunbroch School from a sports coaching company in September 2024 as a PE instructor.

I love sport, being active and having a competitive environment whether that’s teaching or playing sports. I have been working in sport and coaching for 7 years and love every second of it, I am very excited to start going from primary teaching to secondary and higher.

I have joined Dunbroch school after teaching maths for 6 years in a college in Cambridge and in few high schools in Manchester area mainly. I love to inspire young people and help them reach their full potential.

Changing their mindsets regarding maths and watch how their confidence grow it’s something that I value and make my job worth it! I love reading, dancing, spending time with my friends and family.

 Travelling is a passion of mine and a have a bucket list of destinations.

I joined Dunbroch school in September 2024 as a Teaching Assistant. I have a real passion for working with children and helping them to develop and grow, I have been working with children for 15 years in Early Years settings and am very excited to begin my new adventure with older children and young adults.

I have been teaching now for thirty years, both at home and abroad, in every type of school imaginable – state, grammar, private, International – in York, Cambridge, Paignton (on what is fancifully called ‘The English Riviera’), Italy, Singapore, Egypt and Ecuador. The course I’m most experience in teaching is the IB, but I have also taught GCSE and A level.

And now the road has brought me by hook or by crook to Cambian Dunbroch to teach in another utterly new, exotic and foreign environment. I think of life as an adventure and even at this late stage of the game I’m ready for a new challenge. Which is exactly what I’ve found here at this marvellous small school serving the deep needs of children with every disadvantage that life can throw at anyone. I hope I can make a contribution to their lives and futures.
