Introducing Our Reception Teachers

Welcome to Panda Class

My name is Miss Robbins. I am a Reception teacher in Panda Class and I am the Early Years Lead. I have been teaching for many years and I love meeting so many brilliant, enthusiastic, inspiring young people along the way. I love working at CCI because it feels like a family, all looking after each other, working together and sharing a lot of laughter every day.

When I am not busy being a teacher, I like to spend my time with my friends and family, going on walks to various places, shopping, going to the theatre or to a concert and even a little bit of gardening (when the weather is nice!)

My background is in Art and I love being creative, so a lot of the activities I enjoy most in school are when we can get a bit messy and explore textures and colours, using a variety of materials. Working outdoors and using the big, open spaces, brings so many opportunities for learning and hearing children having fun and enjoying what they are learning, makes it even better!

Welcome to Tiger Class

Hello, My name is Mrs Perry and I am the teacher in Tiger class.

I love baking, making memories with my family, exercising, laughing and dancing around the kitchen to my favourite songs. I have two young children of my own and some of our favourite things to do together are going to the beach, playing and snuggling up together with a good book. My favourite book at the moment is 'A Piece of Cake' by Jill Murphy.

I also have a cheeky Cocker Spaniel called Ziggy, who loves chasing ducks whenever he gets the chance!

I can't wait to meet you and begin our exciting learning journey together. We're going to have lots of fun, make amazing memories and go on some fantastic adventures together in Tiger Class. 

Welcome to Lion Class

Hello, My name is Miss Essex and I will be your teacher, alongside Mrs Jenkins, in Lion Class. I work on a Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and Mrs Jenkins works on Monday and Tuesday.  

I have been teaching for over 17 years and absolutely love being a teacher and have always taught Reception and Year 1! I have been teaching at CCI for the past 4 years and love it here! My heart is definitely in the Early Years and I love seeing children learn through play, develop and grow at this very special time.  At CCI I am Lead Digital Engineer which means I love all things technology! I love how amazing technology can be in inspiring young learners and they often teach me new things too!  

When I am not at CCI, I love spending weekends enjoying family days out and the holidays exploring more of the World! I have loved visiting beautiful far off places such as South Africa, Australia and the Caribbean!  

Hello, My name is Mrs Jenkins and I teach in Lion class alongside Miss Essex. I've been teaching for many years and have had the privilege of spending the last 9 years working at CCI! I absolutely love being a teacher because it enables me to work with so many enthusiastic, creative young minds who are excited to be in the amazing world in which we live.

When I am not in school, I enjoy helping to run my local Church's parent and Toddler group. I also love spending time with my family and friends. I particularly like taking our dog on long walks in the woods or the beach with my two children. I also love having family film nights together. 

We are really looking forward to meeting you all soon and can’t wait to find out all about you too!
