Mrs A Young
I started teaching in 2009 and have worked in schools across Leeds, Wakefield and Bradford.
I just love working with children. Everyday is different and you can always rely on children to make you giggle several times a day. Being both a leader and class teacher, I particularly enjoy working across the school but also having my own class and watching them grow as young people.
There are lots of great and funny moments in schools but I particularly enjoy residential when I have taken children on a river walk. The sheer shock of cold water entering 30 pairs of little wellies and the excitement on children's faces as they have lots of fun.
A word to describe me 'Enthusiastic'

I have been working in schools since 2012.
The best thing about working in a school is that every single day is different so it never gets boring! I know that the children are always going to make me laugh.
The best thing that has happened to me whilst working in a school is taking part in the Shakespeare Schools Festival. I have never been so nervous, excited and petrified for the children I have worked with. It was a roller-coaster of emotions (for me and the children) throughout the rehearsal process and we had quite a few wobbles along the way. On the night they absolutely blew me away and I was so proud watching them from the side of the stage,so much so I made a few chuckle whilst I was jumping around like a lunatic when they were remembering everything we had worked on! I have never been so full of pride for a group of children I have worked with. Definitely a highlight for my teaching career so far!
The word to describe me: 'Dedicated'.

I have been working in schools since 2010.
One of my favourite things about being a teacher is the variety each day brings. No two days are the same and the inquisitive minds of children can take their learning in any direction! I really enjoy working with lots of different people and being part of a dedicated, enthusiastic team.
There have been lots of funny things happen to me at school. Every day makes me smile! ¿ ½The best moments are watching children learn, grow and develop into confident individuals. I am very proud of all the children I have taught and love my job.
It's hard to choose one but I would describe myself as 'positive'.

Miss A Staveley
I have been working in schools since 2020.
The reason I have such a love for teaching is down to how rewarding it is. Seeing children grow and develop physically, emotionally and socially before your eyes is a privilege to watch. I feel honoured every day knowing that I am able to be a part of their educational journey. One of my favourite parts of teaching is watching their personality and humour grow over time.
The best thing that has been said to me whilst being a teacher is, “I think you look like Princess Ana from frozen Miss Staveley. But your hair is even cooler!” The funniest thing that has happened to me whilst working in schools is being made to dress up as a giraffe using only cardboard boxes by a pantomime actor visiting the school.
One word that describes me as a professional is “understanding”.

Mrs L Jackson
I have been working in schools since 2007.
I love the wide variety of children and age ranges that I get to work with through out the school. Everybody in the school helps and supports each other, and will do so with a smile on their face.
Working in a school means there are fantastic, funny and inspiring moments every day. It's hard to choose one in particular.
A good word to describe me would be 'Dependable'.

I have been working in school since 2012.
I enjoy working at Valley View as everyone is so helpful and friendly. I find working in the school environment such a rewarding job, just the little everyday things that mean so much to some children make me smile.
The best thing for me about working at Valley View is the feeling of togetherness. All the staff look out for each other and the children are so friendly and happy that it makes it a joy to come to work.
If I had to describe myself I would say I am 'Patient' and 'Caring'.

Mrs J JohnstonTeaching Assistant/ Behaviour Support
Mrs J Johnston
I have been working in schools since 1999.
I love helping children achieve their best, not only academically, but personally. I love to interact with children of all abilities including those with SEN, social and emotional needs and those who have behaviour needs. It's challenging at times, but overall, the respect is always there. My job goes beyond just teaching knowledge and skills - it's about making a personal connection with children.
A word to describe me is 'Supportive'.

Mrs A Dalgleish
I started working at Valley View in 2011. Before this I spent a year volunteering with the charity, Beanstalk, which works to improve reading in primary school children.
The children and staff are what makes Valley View such a great place to be. I am proud to be a small cog in the machine that helps give children the skills they'll need for a successful future.
The best thing has to be watching the progress that every child makes watching them grow in confidence and social skills, as well as abilities. Being a part of those 'penny-drop' moments is a real pleasure.
A word to describe me is 'Supportive'.

Mrs J MurphyHebble Class Teaching Assistant
Mrs J Murphy
I have worked in schools for a long time - since 1994!
I like working in a school and being in contact with different children and their personalities. The laughter in the classroom, the hugs in the corridor from children who have moved on into a different class. I love the lightbulb moment when after a struggle an understanding smile spreads across the child's face.
One of the best things I love is the residential to Lineham Farm. When at Lineham Farm a few years ago I was challenged to climb Jacob's Ladder. I have to say it is one of the bravest things I have done. I am so fortunate to have been on all of the Year 4 residentials as well as travelling to the Czech Republic on Valley View's first residential abroad.
Being part of the unscripted staff Pantomimes was a funny experience where nobody knew what was going on or what to say.
I would describe myself as being a team player, with a caring personality.
