Mrs Nikki Harris

Teaching Assistant

I started working at Estcots after my eldest son started in reception and I had been coming into school to read with children and help on school trips and when asked to support in activities.

I have always worked in Key Stage 2 Phase 3 and I really enjoy working with children in all subjects.

A Few Things About Me

I have 2 children and enjoy going out as a family and always look forward to our annual holiday.

Mrs Catherine Harrop

Year 2 Teacher

I really enjoy working at Estcots I must do as I have been teaching here for  a staggering 16 years both full and part time!!

The school is a very special place to work and the children are always very  enthusiastic about their learning. There is never a dull moment!

A Few Things About Me

When I am not teaching I have two boys that keep me very busy. I love spending time with my family and friends, visiting as many places as I can, swimming and curling up with a good book.

Mrs Ruth Gray

Year 5 Teacher & Phase 3 Leader

I completed a four-year BA Primary Education degree at Chichester University in 2002, having decided to train as a teacher after a long career in social work. My degree in English with Education has supported me in developing a passion for the teaching of English to young children.

Prior to moving to Estcots school I worked for eleven years as a class teacher and leader at a school in Crawley. I believe passionately in a personalised education for every child, I have a holistic approach to working with children and always aim to meet individual needs. This includes building self-esteem and teaching children to value learning. I love working here at Estcots and coming into school each morning is a pleasure.

A Few Things About Me

I live in Burgess Hill will my husband Steve and two of my four adult children. I have a large extended family and my favourite part of the week, apart of course from being in school, is our regular family breakfast on a Saturday morning!

I swim several mornings a week and go to an evening yoga class.

Year 3 Teacher

I love being a teacher and working with a classroom full of lively and happy children. Every day is different, with its unique mix and laughs, challenges and this is something that makes me love the career I am in.

A Few Things About Me

When I’m not working, I love spending time with my family and friends, going for long walks with my wife and dog Fella. I also love to go to the theatre and travel to new places. My favourite place has to be Turkey!
