Mrs Welsh

My name is Mrs Welsh and I am the Deputy Headteacher at Highwood as well as teaching in Year 3. I joined the school after working as an assistant headteacher at a school in Oxford. I have had the opportunity to work in schools in London and Dorset, as a Lead Practitioner and the Head of Key Stage 2. Health, happiness and well-being is important to me and I have a passion for children's literature so if you would ever like a book recommendation, please ask me! In my spare time, I enjoy running, being in the outdoors and painting for relaxation.

Mrs Hartgrove

I'm Mrs Hartgrove and I have been teaching at Highwood since 2017. I've mostly taught in Year 3 which I love and it's been a joy to watch the children grow through the school. I love reading and watching the children start to find their favourite books. 

Outside of school I like being outdoors. I love running and you can often find me at a local parkrun or junior parkrun with my children.

Miss Rumbold

Hello everyone! I'm Miss Rumbold and I am so excited to be a part of Highwood. My favourite part of teaching is watching the 'lightbulb' moment that children experience when they grasp a piece of knowledge they may have been struggling to understand and then usually the big smile on their face! 

Outside of teaching, I love relaxing in anyway I can! Such as reading a good book or watching a film. I absolutely am engrossed in anything history related and love learning about the past. I also love meeting up with my friends and also spending time with my dog, Rolo by going on long walks.
