Teachers
Mr. Chris Leeson - Teacher - Reception
Mr. Leeson is also the lead for computing, modern foreign languages and pupil premium.
I started my teaching career at Oldmixon Primary School in 2013 as an NQT and have been at Oldmixon even since! Since this time, I have experience across EYFS, KS1 and KS2 and this year I’m teaching Reception. I am very passionate about Physical Education and thoroughly enjoyed my role in organising sports days when I was PE coordinator. In 2019, I took up the role of Pupil Premium lead and have continued as Computing Coordinator where I can often be found fixing other members of staff's ICT mishaps. Away from school, I enjoy spending time with my wife Emilia and his dog Poppy but also watching Manchester United or singing along to Coldplay!
Mrs. Laura Clements - Teacher - Year 1
Mrs. Clements is also the lead for phonics and RE.
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.
Miss Abbie Pring - Teacher - Year 2
Miss Pring is also the lead for PE and sports premium
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 third year of teaching. After two years of being in Year 3, I have now moved into year 2 and I’m enjoying the challenge of a new key stage. 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!
Miss Suzanne Kelly - Teacher - Year 3
Miss Kelly is also the lead for art and design, PSHCE and Mind Up.
I moved to Weston-Super-Mare in 2018 and have been teaching for four years. I have been travelling and I have taught English in Vietnam. I have also taught in both KS1 and KS2 whilst being at Oldmixon School.
Mrs. Nicky Leggett - Teacher - Year 4
Mrs. Leggett is also the lead for science and curriculum.
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 17 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 Holly Miller - Teacher - Year 5
Miss Miller is also the lead for maths, assessment and curriculum.
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!
Mrs. Roxanne Simpson - Teacher - Year 6 (also Deputy Headteacher and SENCo)
Mrs. Simpson is also the lead for English and music.
I began my teaching career at Oldmixon Primary School in 2012 as an NQT and loved being part of the Oldmixon family so much that I stayed! Now in my eighth year of teaching, I have experience working both in KS1 and KS2 but this year returned to teaching Year 6! Passionate about reading, writing and music, I can be found frequently reading poems to my class or enthusiastically singing to and with the school. This year, I have taken on the role of school SENCO, I’m working hard to support and develop our provision and support for our children who have special educational needs.
