Read the Primary Head's Welcome

I am a passionate educator who is purely driven on enhancing children's learning experiences and life chances. My main aim is to ensure that all children thrive in a culture of respect, build resilience, develop curiosity about the world around them, think big and dream big, nurture positive learning behaviours and make excellent progress throughout our school so they are ready to face their next chapter.

Working at ECS is a real privilege as I love working with children within my own community. I want children to leave ECS not only reaching their academic potential, but also to be kind, respectful citizens of the world. When I'm not at school, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends as well as exploring as many new countries as I can.

I am very happy and privileged to be part of the ECS family of educators. Teaching is a passion of mine and I have been in the industry for many years.

I have held different roles in my teaching career; however, Special Education Needs and Disability (SEND) has been the most significant for me. I believe all children have potential and the ability to succeed within their individual capacity. I am therefore keen to ensure that barriers to learning are mitigated as much as possible for all children.

Making a difference to the lives of children is an unquantifiable experience and I am privileged to be part of this process for children, many of whom, in the length of my career, have gone on to be successful in their own rights.

I feel extremely lucky to be a part of the Eastbury Community School team, striving for all children to be happy, to have a love of learning and to always feel safe at school. I feel very strongly that as an educator my role is to make sure all children make excellent progress and for them to leave primary school ready for the next stage in their education with big dreams and aspirations for their future.

Outside of school, I spend my weekends with family and friends, but I like nothing better than finding some peace and quiet to curl up with a good book!

Hi,

I am very happy and privileged to join the ECS team. I have been a teacher for 10 years and I have thoroughly enjoyed every year. I am now looking forward to my next chapter in my career at Eastbury Community School. I love teaching every subject but my favourite subject to teach is maths. In my own time, outside of work, I love to go the gym and bake cakes. I love animals and I have a pet dog called Otis. He is a large cockapoo and he is crazy!

Hello! I'm Mrs. Bansal, the Associate Assistant Headteacher at ECS, and as part of my role, I lead the EYFS Phase. I am deeply passionate about nurturing our youngest learners and committed to creating an inclusive environment that encourages growth and exploration. At Eastbury, we take a holistic approach to education, building a strong foundation for lifelong success. Our aim is to inspire children to dream big, think creatively, and believe in their potential as they begin their journey to becoming future-ready citizens. Personally, I value spending time with family and friends, and I look forward to working together with you as partners in your child's exciting learning journey.

Hello everyone,

My name is Mrs Bisht and I am thrilled to be entering the third year of my teaching. I have always loved Early Years and very excited to join the Early Years team. I am very passionate about not only supporting children to reach their academic potential, but also to become compassionate and aspirational individuals. I love to see the children grow and what better way to start from the starting point (Nursery).

In my personal time, I love to get my fingers green and spend time gardening and be in nature and spend time with my family and friends. I love to travel.

Hello! I'm Miss Ahmed, and I'm so happy and grateful to be part of the ECS family as a Year 3 teacher. I have always aspired to become a teacher and strive every day to be a positive role model for all pupils. Teaching brings me so much joy, and I feel privileged to support children as they learn and grow. In my free time, you'll often find me reading books on my Kindle or spending time near the water—my favourite place to relax and feel inspired!

With over a decade of experience in teaching, I am driven by a deep passion for education and a love for nurturing young minds. My energetic, outgoing, and animated personality allows me to create an engaging and joyful learning environment where children feel encouraged to explore, grow, and thrive. I've had the privilege of working with children from diverse backgrounds and needs, tailoring my approach to ensure that every student receives the individualized attention they deserve.

Outside of the classroom, I embrace the role of full-time mom to a spirited toddler who keeps me on my toes and brings endless joy to my life. I'm also a strong advocate for promoting wellbeing, both in my personal life and professional practice, always striving to create a harmonious balance that fosters happiness, health, and success in all areas.

This is my 2^nd year in year 5 and my 4^th year in KS2. I love to create lessons that are fun, engaging and most importantly, memorable. I believe that if you love coming to school then you will love the learning. I am passionate about getting everyone to link the learning to the outside world. My favourite subjects are Maths and Geography.

In my spare time I coach a local swimming team after many years competing myself as well as playing golf on the weekends.

With over 10 years of teaching experience in education, I am passionate about inspiring young minds to reach their full potential. Throughout my teaching journey, I have had the privilege of working in both KS1 and KS2 with diverse groups of children, helping them not only achieve academically but also socially and emotionally. I believe in fostering a love for learning and ensuring that the children I teach can thrive to the best of their capabilities.

In my free time I love going out to eat, going to the gym and doing calligraphy. I find it extremely therapeutic and helps me unwind.

I am very lucky to be working at Eastbury as it is the local school in my community. I have been teaching for 15 years across inner city London boroughs and schools and now work part time as I have a very busy home life with my three young children. I am very passionate about not only supporting children to reach their academic potential, but also to become compassionate and aspirational individuals. As a teacher, I have always loved Early Years education, early reading and more recently I am curious to learn more about neurodiversity. In my personal time, I love to read, go to the theatre, be in nature and spend time with my family and friends. I dream one day of travelling around the world!

I have a great passion for teaching and seeing children maximise their potential. I have a particular love for English, but really enjoy a wide range of subjects ranging from maths to art to history. This interest drives me to make my lessons and classroom environment as engaging as possible. I love spending my free time with family and friends, I'm avid football fan and I'm quite into tech too.

I have been a primary school teacher for a third of my life! All of this time has allowed me to gain a rich bank of knowledge and expertise across the curriculum. I believe that being able to read and accessing a variety of texts unlocks a fulfilled and happy life for all. Reading and writing for pleasure supports our mental health and academic career.

I also love gardening, allotments and the idea of having a kitchen garden! Hopefully, ECS will have its very own kitchen garden growing soon!

Hello! I'm thrilled to be joining this vibrant community as a New Year 4 teacher. My passion for teaching shines brightest when I'm working with math and English—subjects that I find endlessly fascinating and rewarding to explore with students. Beyond the classroom, I have a deep love for reading. Whether it's diving into a biography, history or discovering a new favourite, books are a big part of my life. I also enjoy playing the piano, which is a wonderful way for me to relax and express myself creatively. I'm looking forward to a fantastic year ahead, full of learning, growth, and fun!

Having taught for 7 years, I have had the opportunity to teach across all year groups from reception to year 6. Each day in the classroom brings new excitement and I love nothing more than inspiring children. I think that learning should be fun, and I always aim to fill the classroom with positivity and laughter. Favourite subjects of mine are, History because I love learning about the past and Science because we get to question and be curious about everything!

In my spare time, I find happiness in even the littlest things in life. I love to travel to new places and love to read new and exciting books. I always enjoy spending quality time with my family and friends and snuggling up with my dogs at the end of a long day.

I look forward to this new adventure at ECS

I am a passionate KS2 teacher and I have been teaching in year 5 and year 6 for the past 12 years. I have taught in both the independent and state sectors during my career and have enjoyed every single day. I love working with children to develop their writing and understanding of different text types (particularly older texts like Beowulf and The Highway Man) and I have a particular passion for maths, that I pass on to all pupils.

My favourite subjects are maths and geography.

Outside of school, I love to read, listen to classical music and play golf.

I look forward to meeting you all

I am a dedicated educator with 16 years of experience in the classroom. My passion for teaching stems from a deep belief in the power of education to transform lives. I love learning and sharing that knowledge with the children, empowering them to reach their full potential. My ultimate goal is to see children succeed in life and shape their own futures.

Outside of the classroom, I enjoy spending quality time with my family and friends. I'm also a passionate home cook and love hosting dinner parties for my loved ones.

I love being a teacher and helping the children in my class to be happy, successful and enjoy being at school. My favourite subjects to teach are reading and art - I love to read, and I love to draw so I always enjoy passing this on to the children and creating exciting lessons for these and all other subjects.

With over a decade of teaching experience, I am passionate about fostering an inclusive and supportive learning environment. As a SENDCO for the past five years, my mission is to ensure that every child is given the opportunity to achieve and succeed in life, regardless of their challenges. I have a deep love for teaching children to read, allowing them to immerse themselves in the magical worlds that books open up for them. Outside the classroom, I enjoy dancing, reading, and spending time with my dog, which helps me stay grounded and inspired in my teaching journey. I own my own dance school and love using dance to build confidence and grow.
