I started working at St. Andrews as a teaching assistant in 2007 after volunteering as a parent helper when my children attended the school. My children are now adults, but I'm still here at St. Andrews, happy to be a part of the team that gave them and so many other children a great start to their learning.

Amanda Davis
I started working at Potters Gate in 2016 once our youngest child started school, in Breakfast Club and as midday supervisor, before becoming a Teaching Assistant in Reception. Over the proceeding few years I was able to provide support and guidance to children across all school years, before returning to Reception after qualifying as a Higher Level Teaching Assistant. Prior to September 2023 I provided cover for classes and school visits at St Andrews, so the children and staff are very familiar to me and it was a pleasure to be asked to work here Full Time. I am thoroughly enjoying being part of the lovely St Andrews team.

I've had links with St Andrews since 2008, when I was childminding children attending the school. From there, I started work as a Teaching Assistant at Potters Gate, where both my children attended. I qualified as a Nurture Practioner at the Potters Gate, as well as supporting the SENCO with administrative duties. I moved across to St Andrew's as Office Manager in March 2022 - what a delightful place to work.

I started my teaching career in Cambridgeshire before relocating with my family to Farnham in 2020. I feel incredibly lucky to be part of the Potters Gate and St Andrew’s school community where I love being part of so many children’s learning journeys. The children constantly surprise me with their amazing insight, skill and ability to think about the world around them. They make every day different and fun.
When I am not teaching, I enjoy walking with my dog. He is a greyhound so can run a lot faster than me! I also like gardening, reading lots of books, going to concerts and spending time with my two daughters.

Kate Durack
I have been part of the St. Andrew's and Potters Gate team since 2011 when I joined St. Andrew's as a class teacher before having my children. Now my own child is a pupil at St. Andrew's and so I have been able to continue being part of this lovely school community.
I joined Potters Gate School in April 2020 and feel privileged to be part of this wonderful school where each child is nurtured and given such enriching learning experiences. I am very excited to be back teaching in such a happy and friendly school.
Outside of school I enjoy spending time with my two young children who keep me very busy, in my spare time I love to be outside with my family, read and play the piano.
