Meet the Staff

At St Peter's, we have a dedicated team of staff who we'd love for you to meet! You can get to know us a little better below.

Mr Farrington
Headteacher

Mr Farrington joined the Federation in December 2022, bringing with him many years of experience in leadership from his career in primary education.

Miss D Beynon
Senior and Ash Class Teacher

Hi, my name is Miss Beynon and I am the teacher in Ash Class. I have been at St Peter's for the past 7 years! I love being a part of our Federation and watching our children grow from their early years. I love seeing our children develop, flourish and have fun in the process too.
In addition to my teacher role, I am also the Senior Teacher in the school. I am also the Designated Safeguarding Lead along with the Maths, Music and Computing Lead across the Federation.
One of my favourite hobbies is reading and I have always loved reading from a young age. I love animals and have a very bubbly puppy called Frank who keeps me very busy!

Miss M Vickers
Birch Class Teacher

I’m Miss Vickers and I teach the older children in Year 2, 3 and 4 at St. Peter’s. It is so great to see children grow so much in character and independence during their time in my class.
I absolutely love reading and learning and want to help all our children do the same. I am also passionate about History.
I work across both schools within our Federation as the Science, RE and Curriculum Lead. This last year I have enjoyed going back to the drawing board and reinventing a curriculum that the children find engaging and exciting!

Mrs M Hill
Office Manager

Hi my name is Mel Hill and I am the Office Manager for St Peter’s First School and Talbot First School. I work across both sites and can be found in the office or on the end of the phone if you have any queries.

Mrs S Flanaghan
Teaching and Wraparound Assistant

Hello, my name is Mrs Flanaghan and I work in the Ash Class. I enjoy helping the children learn, achieve and have fun!

Mr Morgan
HLTA (Higher Level Teaching Assistant)

I operate as a HLTA across both St Peter's and Talbot First School where I cover teaching and interventions. I am very fortunate to work with every class and get the opportunity to watch them progress and flourish.
I also lead our Wraparound Care, making an early start with Breakfast Club and closing the door on each day following the After School Club.

Mrs A Brazendale
Teaching and Wraparound Assistant

Hello, my name is Mrs Brazendale. I am a teaching assistant and work with the older children in Birch Class. I love seeing the children grow in confidence throughout their years here. I enjoy anything art related both in and out of school. At home I have two children, a young cat and two rabbits that keep me entertained and very busy!

Mrs N Chatfield
Teaching Assistant

Hi, I’m Mrs Chatfield and I have been working as a Teaching Assistant at the schools in our federation for the past 19 years!
I currently work in Maple Class to support the children in years 2,3 and 4. I really enjoy helping our pupils on their education journey.
In my free time, I like to relax by running, reading and walking my dog.

Mrs T Fowler
Teaching Assistant

Hello my name is Mrs Fowler. I first started working at Talbot First School 10 years ago as Teaching Assistant. I now work across both schools, still as a Teaching Assistant. I work with Pre-School, Reception and Year 1. I enjoy working with all the children and helping them along their school journey.
I have 3 children and when I'm not at school I enjoy walking with my family and 3 dogs.

Mrs L Wragg
Teaching Assistant

I am a teaching assistant across the federation.
I have worked with children for 30 + years as a nanny in a day nursery and for the last 15 years as a teaching assistant.
I have worked within the federation since November 2019. During that time I have been mostly involved with providing interventions and support for children, something I enjoy and find very rewarding.
Out of school my interests are gardening, walking and running (not great distances) just keeping fit.

Mrs S Delaney-Lowis
Admin Assistant

Hi I'm Mrs Delaney-Lowis. You'll usually find me in the office at both schools assisting Mrs Hill and answering your calls and emails. I love that no day is the same and getting stuck into all aspects of working in two lovely village schools with amazing children and staff! I joined in July 2023 after being a Graphic Designer for over 10 years. I still enjoy doing some graphics and arts and crafts but becoming a Mum made me want to work with children and I am very much enjoying my new role!

Nik Golding
Wraparound Care Assistant

Hi. My name is Ms. Golding (Nanny Nik). I am a Wraparound Care Assistant at Talbot First School. I have lived in the village for 26 years and my three children all attended Talbot First School.
I have three grandchildren and have worked at Talbot since September 2022.
I open and close school every day. I am here for breakfast and afterschool club. I enjoy lots of activities with the children including craft, sport, choir and gardening.
I enjoy listening to music and dancing. I also play hockey.
