Kirsty Wicks

Kirsty is our Year 5 teacher at Hunsley Primary, having joined the Trust in September 2018 to complete her Initial Teaching Training through Yorkshire Wolds Teacher Training school-based programme.

Kirsty originally completed a LLB Law degree at the University of Hull and worked for several years as a property solicitor in the local area before taking a career break to focus on her children. This led to her taking on a voluntary role as a SEND governor in her local school and developing an interest in teaching.

Passionate about driving school improvement through application of evidence-based practice, Kirsty has taken a lead on key curriculum reviews, cascading her findings to the rest of the team. She recently took on the role of host teacher for the Yorkshire Wolds Teacher Training programme and is a trained mentor. Kirsty is a Staff Governor at Hunsley Primary.

Kirsty is part of the Curriculum Review Team for English, French, Music and History.

Kirsty is also an experienced Girl Guiding leader and brings a love of outdoor learning and educational visits into the classroom to help children further develop their skills and confidence.
