Miss Smith joined Heathlands in 2023 after graduating from the University of Brighton with a BA (Hons) in Primary Education. She began her teaching journey in Year 2 and is now enjoying the opportunities and challenges of teaching in Year 5.

She is passionate about creating a positive and engaging classroom environment where every child feels supported and inspired to reach their full potential. Miss Smith especially enjoys teaching English and helping children develop a love of reading and writing.

Outside of the classroom, Miss Smith enjoys listening to music, staying active at the gym, and spending quality time with friends and family. She also loves pushing herself outside her comfort zone—having bungee jumped in Costa Rica and now preparing to hike Mount Kilimanjaro in August 2025. She believes that embracing challenges helps build resilience, a value she encourages in her students every day.
