Hello! I work as an assistant in the Nursery Birch Class and have done since 2001. I really enjoy spending time with the nursery children. We have lots of educational fun which often means getting very messy!

Hello! My name is Mrs Butterworth. I have worked at Newhey Community Primary School since 1994 as a Teaching Assistant. I am responsible for supporting the class teachers and Reception & Year 1 pupils in Willow Class. 

One of the many roles within school that I thoroughly enjoy is being part of the School Council. I help to run and organise the meetings with pupils and we are very proud of the work we have achieved so far.

In my spare time I like to spend time with my family and my pets.

I am privileged to be a part of the Newhey team.

I first came to Newhey CP school as a parent-quite a few years ago now.  I live locally and am married with three children.  All three of my children attended Newhey CP and have fond memories of the school.

I started my employment here as a lunchtime supervisor, a role which I still enjoy.  I have completed lots of training over the years and continue to do so.  I am now employed as a Teaching Assistant, Level 3.  I have qualified in the teaching of PSHE and completed a basic counselling course.  My role here at Newhey is to help support pupils’ Emotional Literacy both in and out of the classroom.  This is a very rewarding job which enables me to take home a lot of job satisfaction.

I am also a member of the eco council, school council and governing body.

Out of school, I enjoy spending time with my family.  I recommend Newhey CP to any parent thinking of placing their child here.  I look forward to coming to work every day and feel privileged to be part of the Newhey team.

Having completed my studies in Children's Literature, I have turned my time and attention to improving the school's library. I have two grown-up children who have both attended Newhey CP and when I am not spending time with them, I enjoy walking and sewing. I  love all things art and being super-organised!!!
