Head of Maths
Ann-Marie joins us in August 2016 as Head of Maths from Saint Joseph’s School, Launceston. She enjoys focussing and tailoring her teaching as this flexibility allows students to reach their own true potential. Mathematics as a compulsory subject is not always everyone’s favourite but if it is made fun and interesting it will allow all students to leave school believing that they have the skills they need for future life! Whilst living in other countries around the world including China, Germany and Mexico, her family have had the opportunity to mix with many different people and to gain an understanding of different cultures. She is keen to nurture in her own children and develop in her teaching and extra-curricular programmes a greater understanding of the world.
