Hello. I'm Mrs Lingard and I'm the teaching assistant in the reception class. I'm also the schools ELSA and a qualified Forest School Leader.

I have worked at St Joseph's for 20 years. I have been happily married to Mr Lingard for 30 years and we have two children who both attended St Joseph's School when they were younger.

I grew up on a farm which gave me a real love and passion for the outdoors. In my spare time I love gardening, baking, and walking on the moors and the local area. I also run but can't say I love running, I hate every run I do but love the feeling when I finish.
