Hello! I am Mrs Hodgins.
I have been teaching at Rodborough since April 2023 and love being here. I share Year 2 (also known as Super Squad 2) with the wonderful Mrs Kirkham and lead history and music. My favourite thing about being a teacher is seeing children change and grow throughout the year. It is a real privilege to get to be a part of that and I am super excited to see Super Squad 2 achieve so many things this year.
My favourite things to do outside of school are spending time with my lovely family, including my two daughters and growing lots of things in my garden. I think I love doing this so much because I love seeing all the wildlife that visits the garden when the flowers start blooming. I look forward to getting to know the children this year and finding out what they love too!
Hello! I an Mrs Kirkham.
I grew up on a farm just outside of Stroud and attended Stroud High School before whizzing off to Bristol University to study Geography. I then moved to London to try my hand at recruitment and advertising before landing a job in a Hospital School. I then moved back to Gloucestershire to complete my PGCE at Bath Spa University. Following this, I taught Y2 for a couple of years in London, before once again returning to my homeland and beginning my journey at Rodborough. This will be my 12th year teaching here and during my time at Rodborough I have taught both Y2, Y3 and Y4. I have two daughters. My favourite things are family, friends, crafting, fancy dress and going on adventures."
"Mrs Kirkham will teach you on a Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Mrs. Hodgins will teach you on a Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. On a Wednesday we spend time handing over learning, passing on messages, planning next steps and ensuring consistency in our classroom and teaching. This planning time, and our similar styles in teaching mean that our job share works really effectively and hopefully adds some lovely variety to the week! Most importantly though, we love teaching together and we think this definitely helps!"
