Mrs Cox
I joined Horncastle Primary as Deputy Headteacher in September 2018, when I relocated with my family from Colchester in Essex. I became ActingHead in Janury 2023.
I trained to be a teacher at Roehampton Institute in London, with subject specialisms of English and Maths. I qualified in 1999 and starting teaching a Year 5/6 class in the London Borough of Harrow. After I had taught for two years, I took a year out to travel Australia. Along the way, I did several jobs including working on a banana farm!
When I returned to England, I moved to Lincoln where I taught for 8 years. During that time, I married and had my first child. We relocated as a family to Essex where I worked in a newly opened primary school and saw it grow from 78 to 420 pupils.
During my time as a teacher I have taught every year group form Year 1 to Year 7, have led several subjects and Key Stages, been a Deputy Headteacher in three schools and an Acting Headteacher.
Out of school, I enjoy spending time with my husband and my two children. I love reading, watching reality TV shows and I am a huge Take That fan!
Mrs Leak
I have been lucky enough to teach at Horncastle Primary School for 30 years, starting my career as a Newly Qualified Teacher and I am now teaching the children of some of my past pupils which is just lovely! Over my 30 years, I have taught across the school and now as Assistant Head I still enjoy getting into classes and chatting to the children which still makes me smile. I went to university in Wales and then returned back to Lincolnshire to start teaching. I am Welsh and if your child comes home singing ‘Happy Birthday’ in Welsh, it was probably me who taught them!
One of my passions, both in and out of school is singing and over the years I have led many choirs and we have been lucky enough to sing at Lincoln Cathedral, the Lincolnshire Show and most recently at the Fly Arena Sheffield through the Young Voices Project. Singing I believe is good for the heart and soul and most importantly confidence.
Outside of school, I am kept busy with family life. I am married and have one daughter. In my spare time I like to meet friends for coffee, this usually includes cake, and walk my labradoodle, who is also quite partial to cake!
Mrs Hutson
I qualified as a teacher in 2013 and started my career in a small village primary school, teaching mixed age classes through a ‘Mantle of the Expert’ curriculum, which I loved! I worked there for 3 years before moving to Horncastle Primary school – a huge school in comparison. During my time as a teacher, I’ve taught all year groups within KS1 and KS2. For a number of years, I have worked as the school’s Inclusion Leader. I thoroughly enjoy working with pupils, staff and parents right across school!

My journey into education began over 15 years ago in a secondary school in Kent and started working at Horncastle Primary school in February 2023. Over the years, I have been fortunate enough to move areas due to being a Forces/military family. I have lived in Kent, Hampshire, Suffolk, Cyprus (I miss the weather!) and now Lincolnshire.
At my previous school I trained to become a Level 3 Forest School Practitioner and successfully set up a Forest School provision. I have a huge love for the outdoors. Any opportunity to be outside, I will take it, even if it`s freezing cold and raining because there is no such thing as bad weather, only
bad clothing!
Out of school, I love to spend time with my family and two dogs, Molly and Marley. We like to explore forests and eat fish and chips by the coast. I enjoy gardening, especially looking after my house plants and baking with my daughter. I also have an unhealthy habit of eating Nutella out of
the jar with a spoon!
Mrs Elks
My working career started out as a software engineer working for a flight simulator company working on Boeing 747 aircraft engines. I left in 1993 when my first daughter arrived, with two more daughters following on.
My involvement in education started in 1998 when I began going into my daughter’s school as a parent helper and discovered that I actually quite enjoyed it!

Mrs Rawdon

Here I supported youngsters with life skills, learning and behavioural support. When the wing closed, I moved into their school as a TA, where I remained until I had my first child.
My previous role helped me understand and learn strategies when working with children with additional needs and challenging behaviour both in a school and a home setting. I wanted a new challenge when I returned to work after having my daughter and I had never worked in a mainstream school before.
When I’m not at work I enjoy simply being a mother to my two children and spending time with my family. I love holidays in the sunshine, music and movies.

Mr Walker
I have certainly taken a winding road to the position of Y6 class teacher in Horncastle Primary School. After graduating from university, I made the decision to watch the 2002 World Cup in South Korea. I found the experience so fabulous, that I decided to live in Korea for the next ten years!
While I was in Korea, I worked at various English academies including the rather prestigious Anyang Foreign Language High School. I lived in the Seoul district of Gangnam during this time and indeed I like to think I had Gangnam Style! I then opened my own English school in the city of Daejeon, about 100 miles south of the North Korean border. Managing my own school was a very rewarding life experience.
I came back to England in 2012 after a decade of being far from home. I qualified from Bishop Grosseteste University in Lincoln. After graduating, I worked in all year groups ranging from Nursery to Year 6. I joined Horncastle Primary school in 2019 and have been working in Year 6 ever since.
Away from the classroom, I am an avid follower of Everton and Southport FC. I also love watching Formula 1 and have been to Silverstone many times! To slow things down, I like nothing better than a good game of chess. My claim to fame is that I once met Paul Daniels. That’s magic!
Mrs Cairns
I began working at Horncastle Primary School six years ago as a Lunchtime Supervisor. After a couple of years I was lucky enough to secure a Teaching Assistant role.
I live locally with my three children, 16, 13 and 9. I consider myself a very fortunate person, having three wonderful children of my own and working with so many more every day at school.
I love to eat out, spend time with friends, watch movies and enjoy life!
Miss Austin
I have been a teacher at Horncastle Primary school since September 2018, after completing both my Undergraduate Degree, in Education Studies and Psychology, and my PGCE at Bishop Grosseteste University in Lincoln. I have spent my four years at Horncastle Primary School teaching in Upper Key Stage 2, beginning in Year 5 and then moving to Year 6.
Before moving to Lincoln to train as a teacher, I lived in Cromer, Norfolk – I’ve spent plenty of hours on the beach and am pretty skilled at saving my chips from the seagulls.
Out of school, I enjoy getting to spend time with my family. I am a Great British Bake Off lover and like to spend my weekends baking new things. I also enjoy watching films; a particular favourite being Harry Potter!
Mrs Cannon
Being from Horncastle, I have both attended and seen my four children come through this amazing school.

Mrs Ashley
I first started my job as a lunchtime supervisor in 2018 after leaving my job as a cleaner. It fit in so well round my two children who were young at the time.
I love my job. I get to work with brilliant work colleagues and amazing children. There is never a dull moment.
I’m a mum to two teenagers so if they aren’t too cool to spend time with me, we love to watch movies or make memories as a family.
If I’m not spending time with my kids you will find me designing tattoos or cleaning.
Miss Jackson
I have worked here at school since 2017 after leaving my career in Travel. I have done various jobs here up to now Breakfast Club and Cleaning.

Mrs Robinson
Mrs Williams
I joined Horncastle primary school in 2018 as a lunchtime supervisor. Previously I worked caring for the elderly, if I could make their day easier I’d feel a sense of achievement. Likewise, when working with children if I can put a smile on their face then I’ve achieved what I’m here to do.
In my spare time, I like spending time with my family, watching horror films and the odd weekend away in my little caravan.
Mrs Scowen
I have worked at Horncastle Primary for almost 29 years. I began my time here filling in for a week at lunchtime, and a week later I was offered a full-time position.
After volunteering to help with a young boy in reception, I was asked if I would like a permanent job in the classroom as a 1-1, supervising this child, and went on to work with many others over the next 25 years, while still doing my lunchtime duties.
In May this year, I took the decision to give up my TA role to spend more time helping to care for my elderly dad, but I wasn’t ready to give up altogether, so kept my lunchtime job on.
My time in school has gone full circle, but I now have the chance to sit back a bit and relax, and enjoy time with my family.
Mrs J Taylor
I have been a Midday Supervisor for more than 20 years; I previously worked in school as a teaching assistant.
I am also employed at Tesco as a grocery assistant.
