Hunsley Primary Teachers Appointed

Parents planning to send their children to Hunsley Primary are now seeing the vision become a reality, after the first teachers have been appointed. Following the recent announcment of the appointment of the Head Teacher, Lucy Hudson, plans are now really beginning to pick up pace ahead of the school opening for reception pupils in September 2015, with Rachel Hudson appointed as the reception teacher and Sue Mutter as the school’s nursery nurse.

The appointments come on the back of the Department for Education being very positive about the development of Hunsley Primary and schools minister Lord Nash signing off the funding agreement for the school.

Sue Mutter, nursery nurse, said: “I get a lot of satisfaction from helping children to develop as independent learners and encouraging them to become curious about the world around them. My nursery nurse experience is well matched to Hunsley Primary’s approach to child-led learning and I am looking forward to getting started at the school. I am really keen to support with planning lessons to ensure the right resources and educational goals are in place for children to learn, discover, explore and be challenged at school so they can excel and have a really enjoyable time at school.”

Hunsley Primary will be based on the same site as South Hunsley in Melton for the first year, while its state-of-the-art new home on the £200m Brough South development is built featuring a unique science discovery centre. The school will move into its new home on Brough South in September 2016.

Rachel Hudson, reception teacher, has a clear brief to provide an outstanding level of education in an environment where children can reach their potential and thrive. She said: “I am very excited to be appointed as the reception teacher at Hunsley Primary. It is a wonderful opportunity for both the staff and children to start a new journey together. “I am very proud to be part of the opening team who will build the foundations of what I know will be an outstanding school. I have already started preparations for the school opening in September and I am very much looking forward to meeting the new reception children in their current nurseries. We are going to be very privileged to have a new school with brand new and up to date resources and technologies which will offer the children unique and exciting learning opportunities.

“I specialise in early years education and I am confident that myself, Sue and Lucy can deliver an outstanding level of teaching and create an environment where children can be engaged, inspired and enjoy learning. I am very much looking forward to September and the future of Hunsley Primary.”

Lucy Hudson added: “I have been overwhelmed by the positive response from parents applying for places at Hunsley Primary and it has been such a pleasure to meet all of the children and talk to them about their interests and ideas when it comes to starting school. The appointment of Sue and Rachel reinforces the fact that the vision for Hunsley Primary is now a reality and I am confident that our new staff team offers the best possible mix of skills and expertise to provide children with the very best start in school life with us.”

Chris Abbott, Executive Principal of South Hunsley School which heads up Hunsley Trust, said: “I am absolutely delighted with the strong endorsement we have received from the Department for Education in relation to Hunsley Primary. They have been incredibly supportive in terms of working with us to ensure the school gets off to the best possible start when it opens in September 2015, as well as working closely with us to ensure our new building is ready in time for September 2016.”

The vision for Hunsley Primary is to excel in science and maths, but with a broad and balanced curriculum, with an objective of helping children to become lively, enquiring individuals with creative minds as well as being happy at school. With a national priority to improve science and maths skills, the school’s opening couldn’t be more timely.
