I teach Robins’ Class which means I have the privilege of working with the youngest children at Lapford Primary School. I find this such a magical and creative stage of development. I am passionate about reading and love to inspire children to immerse themselves in the books we share. I have lived in the local area for eight years now, and value the importance of community links. I support FLS and enjoy taking part in community events.  In my free time, I love exploring the countryside with my family and friends and our two dogs, Ginny and Daphne. I am also a big music fan and enjoy attending concerts and festivals.

I am Joe Skinner and I teach Years 5 and 6 in Herons class. I am also Lapford Primary's Subject Lead for Science, Computing and Design Technology. When I'm not teaching, I love adventures with my wife and children around the Devon area, enjoying all things comic books and geeky, playing music and reading! 

I am Mrs Hender-Curtis and you can find me working with Nursery and Reception every morning.  In the afternoons, my job is slightly different, as I work with small groups of children focussing on their social, emotional and mental health.  I am also an Higher Level Teaching Assistant.  I also chair our school council working alongside our school council representatives.  On a personal level, I love animals and anything outdoors, especially horse riding, surfing and walking.

I have had the pleasure of working at Lapford Primary School as a teaching assistant since 2021.  I am the Play Co-ordinator for our Outdoor Play and Learning programme, which has put me in a privileged position where I am able to help the children to develop their creativity, imagination and social and emotional skills, amongst other things.

I am passionate about education and believe that all children have the right to a high-quality education.  I am working towards my future goal of progressing to become a Higher Level Teaching Assistant and studying to ensure that I am able to support children with additional learning needs to the best of my ability.

I thoroughly enjoy cycling and exploring the beautiful coastlines that we have in Devon.

I’m Rachel Sermon, and I am the administrator at the school. I’ve been working in school offices in Kent and Devon for well over a decade, and should hopefully be able to help with any queries you may have, no matter how trivial or strange! When I’m not running around school, I love hanging out with my chickens, cats and sheep at home, cooking, reading, and travelling with my family.

I am Amanda, and I am the Catering Assistant for Lapford.  It is my job to serve the children their hot lunches and to make sure that all children are fed within our school.  In my spare time I like to play hockey, which I have done for many years.  I also have a few animals which I look after at home; the children always like to ask about the animals I have, and it's always a great conversation starter.
