Teachers

Mrs. Laura Clements - Teacher - Reception

Mrs. Clements is also the EYFS lead, Art and DT.

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

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 Maths 

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, Music, Art and DT

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!
