Ms Turner

My name is Nicola Turner. At Glenthorne, I am the Deputy Headteacher, Year 6 Teacher and DDSL. I am also responsible for Writing, Curriculum and Assessment.

One of the things I really like about Glenthorne is seeing the children being independent. I feel strongly about ensuring children are ready for the transition to high school, so seeing children from Nursery to Year 6 taking charge of their learning is fantastic.

My favourite subject when I was at school was definitely Geography (mainly due to the teacher!) although English was always a very close second. My love of English has continued to grow throughout my teaching and this is now my favourite thing to teach. 

In my spare time, I spend time with my daughter. We love being active, playing outside, crafting, swimming and going on adventures. 

If I wasn’t a teacher, I would be, in a dream world, a children’s author. I still hope to find the time to try and accomplish this one day!
