Teachers
Mrs. Laura Clements - Teacher - Reception
Mrs. Clements is also the EYFS lead.
My name is Laura Clements. This is my fourth year at Oldmixon. My passion is working in Early Years and I love teaching early reading and writing.
Mr Jack Smith - Teacher - Year 1
Mr Smith is also the Design and Technology lead
I am Mr. Smith and I have only recently joined the team this year! I have had lots of experience in Year 1 and enjoy teaching phonics. I’m really excited about the future ahead as an NQT at Oldmixon. My journey in education started with a teaching assistant role at Mead Vale primary school, before moving on to study Education Studies at Plymouth University. I have a strong passion for sports (especially football), with a desire to keeping fit.
Mrs Amanda Martin - Teacher - Year 2
Mrs Martin is also the lead for Art and Design
I have been a teacher for over 20 years and am so pleased to be continuing my career here at Oldmixon. I have taught mainly infant children in that time and love to see how early learning supports and underpins a love for learning for life.
Miss Abbie Pring - Teacher - Year 3
Miss Pring is also the lead for PE, Computing and E-safety
My teaching career started after studying a three year Primary Education degree at the University of Winchester. I joined the Oldmixon team as an NQT in 2017 and I’m now in my fourth year of teaching. Having a strong passion for sport, I am often organising sports events for the children or even taking part! When not at work, you’re likely to find me at Ashton Gate supporting my favourite team!
Mrs. Nicky Leggett - Teacher - Year 4
Mrs. Leggett is also the lead for Science and Music.
I arrived at Oldmixon in 2002 as a newly qualified teacher and I never left. The friendly atmosphere and the lovely families that we work with has kept me here so that 18 years later here I am. My passion is for Science and one of the best parts of teaching is sharing this with children and encouraging the next generation of scientists and science-informed citizens.
Miss Sammy Knighton - Teacher - Year 5
Miss Knighton is also the lead in RE, PHSE and Mindfulness/Healthy schools
I began my teaching career in 2012, and have worked in schools in North Somerset and Bristol. I have spent the last 4 years working for Bristol Sport Foundation developing the teaching of PE, and teaching sport to lots of children and teachers! I am excited about returning to the classroom, and becoming a part of the Oldmixon family. I love sport (particularly rugby) as well as reading and history.
Miss Holly Miller - Teacher - Year 6
Miss Miller is also the lead for Humanities and Modern Foreign Languages.
I dreamed of being a teacher from a young age! I studied Education and Psychology at the University of Bath before moving to Bath Spa University for my teacher training. I began my teaching career at Oldmixon in 2015 as an NQT and have taught in year 3 and year 5 since. I have a passion for maths and have been working hard to ensure that every child loves maths and achieves in this subject. When not at work, you’re likely to find me with a football at my feet, eating out or petting cats!
