Hello, I am Mrs Bottomley. I teach Acorn Class and I am responsible for Phonics, Geography and History across the school.

I have worked at St. Joseph’s for 14 years, and the children, families and staff have made these years incredibly happy and rewarding for me. I love teaching and as a team, we are passionate about helping children learn and explore through the environment beyond their classroom.

Outside of school, I love musicals and am a member of a local amateur dramatic company, where I have played many different roles. I particularly love singing and dancing!

I also have a young family of two boys, who keep me very busy, along with my dog, Monty.
