"It is my privilege to teach. My hope is that all the children know that I want them to be the best version of themselves that they can be and that they all love coming into my classroom to learn and grow."
Being born in Germany into an army family, Mrs Kingston-Bray has enjoyed living in different countries for much of her life. Mrs K-B started her professional life as a production manager for an independent TV production company, moving into marketing and then waking up one day and realising that she wanted to teach. She completed her teacher training in the UK and after 2 years she moved to an international school in Dubai where she taught across the primary years and started specialising in supporting children with additional needs and children with English as an additional language.
Following the arrival of her first child she moved to Sydney, Australia where she started teaching at a clinic school working with a multidisciplinary team to support children with a wide range of difficulties from remote areas of New South Wales. Ater moving back to the UK, Mrs K-B trained as a Speech and Language Therapist so she could focus her passion on supporting children to communicate. Mrs K-B worked within the community to support children with eating, drinking and swallowing difficulties and then moved to the early years and school team to work with children, families and educators to support the child's communication skills.
Mrs K-B loves travelling to new countries with her family. During the summer holidays the KBs can usually be found backpacking and exploring beaches, mountains, cities and forests. Having moved to Mallorca she can't wait to learn more about the Balearic Islands, the culture and language.
"It is my privilege to teach. My hope is that all the children know that I want them to be the best version of themselves that they can be and that they all love coming into my classroom to learn and grow."
“Every child deserves a champion - an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection, and insists that they become the best that they can possibly be.” Rita Pierson, teacher.
Mrs K-B is passionate about creating a challenging yet accessible and nurturing learning environment for all of her pupils. She is determined to build a sense of community and belonging in the classroom so that children know that everyone's ideas and opinions are valued and that all pupils feel safe and happy. She sets high expectations for all the children but works with them every step of the way so that each child gains a sense of achievement and is proud of their learning.
