Year 5 Class Teacher
Mrs Gibson joined the Heathlands team in 2014 but has taught, locally, for nearly twenty-seven years with some of that time also being spent forming part of different Senior Leadership Teams. With a BA in English, Mrs Gibson has previously taken the Shakespearean play, ‘Macbeth’ on tour playing the lead of Lady Macbeth. Her love for ‘The Bard’ has also found its way into her teaching: promoting the next generation to discover his magic. Her keen interest, in English, has meant that she worked with the Standards & Testing Agency, to support in the setting of the threshold for the SATs Reading paper, in 2016. Currently, Mrs Gibson is developing her passion for supporting children with Special Educational Needs through studying for her NPQ for SENCOs.
In her spare time, Mrs Gibson loves nothing more than spending time with her family: her husband; daughter Megan and her additional daughter - hairy four-year-old labrador, Purdy. In the holidays, Mrs Gibson loves long-haul travel; experiencing the cultures, and cuisine, in a variety of locations with some her favourites being: Thailand, the Middle East and the Caribbean.
