To love, to learn, to live... to leave a legacy
Mrs Ingram
ELSA & Year 5/6 support
As experienced as they come, Mrs. Ingram joined Smannell & Enham school in January 2008 and during her time here has supported the children with their learning in all classes across the school but mainly in Key Stage two. She is also the current ELSA (Emotional Literacy Support Assistant) and within this role spends time ensuring that the children know that she is always there to listen. Mrs. Ingram set up breakfast club many years ago now and is still running it today. The children always come in smiling and enjoy chatting with their friends even though it starts before most are in school. Her passion is definitely maths and she loves to share this with the children and help them overcome any misconceptions that Maths is anything other than a subject that they can enjoy and that she is always there to help.
Miss Ware
1:1 LSA on Thursdays & Fridays + Year 3/4 support
With 4 children, Miss Ware is no stranger to a busy environment and working in Year 3/4 is the perfect place for her! Miss Ware joined the Smannell & Enham team in November 2020. Starting off as a MDSA she is now also a dedicated Learning Support Assistant. She is passionate about supporting children and enhancing their learning experiences. She enjoys working with her team and loves the community that Smannell & Enham has created within itself. In her spare time she enjoys weekly strenuous bootcamp classes, outings with her children but also some much needed quality time at home with them.
Mrs Jones
1:1 support in Year 3/4
Mrs Jones is super skilled in supporting children with special educational needs. She is brilliant at breaking tasks down into the small chunks they need in order to be able to succeed.
She joined the team at Smannell and Enham in January 2021 after working as an LSA in her previous school for 18 years.
Children are fun and Mrs Jones absolutely loves working with them, “Seeing them flourish and become more independent and resilient is a huge reward. It’s not just about keeping them safe but nurturing their curiosity and creativity. No two days are ever the same!
Out of school Mrs Jones enjoys spending time with family and friends and weekends away and her new granddaughter!
