Say hello to Lisa 👋
With almost 30 years of experience teaching and leading English across both mainstream and SEND settings, Lisa's dedicated to helping learners grow in confidence and succeed in their own way.
Lisa went into teaching to make a difference in young people’s lives – and that passion is just as strong today as it was when she started in 1996 🥰
We’re excited to be growing our team and are currently hiring a Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO) and an Assistant Teacher!
If working alongside young people and supporting them to succeed sounds like your kind of work, we’d love to hear from you.

Meet Sharon 👋
Sharon is currently at university training to become a primary school teacher and also holds a Level 5 qualification as a Midwifery Support Assistant. After moving from hospitals into schools as a Teaching Assistant, she discovered a real love for working with young people.
As the eldest of her siblings, helping others grow has always been part of who she is. Sharon brings kindness, compassion, and positivity to everything she does, and always aims to bring encouragement (and a smile) to the students she works with 😊

Meet Michael 👋
Michael studied Chemistry at the University of Nottingham and has been teaching science for 19 years. One of his favourite parts of the job is running experiments – especially the ones that change colour or produce lots of bubbles.
Outside of school he enjoys the gym, roller skating, and gaming on his PlayStation 5. Fun fact – he once spoke to Drake!

Today at The Mill…the fire service. Taking Careers Week into a second week, following Amazon and Home Plus Group last week, we visited the fire service today. We’ve known this young man for some years; the fact that he’s heading back for the open day makes us so incredibly proud.

Meet Ginny (and Margo) 👋
Ginny and Margo are part of Indie Education’s unofficial wellbeing team. They can often be found supervising staff from a sunny spot, accepting pats on demand or happily joining someone for lunch. When they’re around, they bring a little extra warmth (and a very good excuse for a break).
