  My husband and I have two children and we moved from Luton to Raunds in 2015. We came here as we love the outdoors, fishing and walking our dog Stanley in the gorgeous Northamptonshire countryside.

  I love horse riding, gardening, singing (badly) and watching football with my family. We are Luton Town supporters and love to watch matches at Kenilworth Road.

  I love working at Ringstead due to its caring, nurturing family feel.

  I joined Ringstead Primary School in September 2011 and have thoroughly enjoyed my journey within the school having started working as a TA before training as a HLTA and then eventually as a teacher.

  I love History and originally trained as an archaeologist before moving into teaching. I run an excavation on the school grounds each summer and I am a committee member for the local heritage group.

  Reading is another passion of mine and I keen to share that love of reading with our pupils. I love talking about books with my class and over the years students have recommended authors to me who have gone on to become favourites of mine.

I spent four years working in schools across Peterborough, gaining experience across all year groups.
  
  I have a real passion for Maths and love exploring new places, whether that's discovering somewhere local or heading off on an adventure. At home, I enjoy relaxing with my two cats, especiallyrelaxing on the sofa. I also love horse riding and spending time with my friends and family.

  I feel very lucky to be part of the Ringstead team and really value the school's warm, supportive, family atmosphere.

  I then joined the Ringstead team in September 2021, where I love sharing my passion for all sports, particularly Gymnastics, Athletics and Netball.

  In my spare time, I love going to the gym, running, cycling and yoga. I also have been lucky enough to have travelled to many different countries and love trying out the local food. My favourite places are Australia, Dubai and America. At the weekends, I enjoy going to the theatre and relaxing with family and friends.

  Mrs Ellen Willmott

  Hello, I'm Mrs Willmott and I started working at Ringstead in September 2022. I have previously been a teaching assistant elsewhere within the county. However, I thoroughly enjoy working in a smaller school with a lovely family feel and church ethos.

  In my spare time, I enjoy being with my family and our dogs. Our most recent hobby involves travelling as we adore time in the outdoors and get to enjoy this far more often now we have a camper van!

  I joined the staff team at Ringstead in September 2023 to lead the After School Club. Shortly after, I began a TA apprenticeship and I am loving my time here! I currently live in the village and attended the school myself as a child so I am very privileged to be back where I started my education!

  In my spare time I love being in the outdoors and spending time with my family. You will often find me walking my dogs around the village!

  I joined Ringstead CE Primary in June 2025, first as a Wrap Around Care Assistant at Breakfast and Afterschool Club and then developed into the current role which I have as an Apprentice Teaching Assistant.

  In my spare time I love following Luton Town home and away with my Dad, spending time with my girlfriend and playing games with my family. I also love watching Star Wars and could probably quote all six films, front to back!

• Ms Jan Highmore
  Teaching Assistant
  Ms Jan Highmore

  I started working at Ringstead first as a parent helper, then as a TA when my eldest son was in Year 3 and my youngest in EYFS. They have now grown up, one has been to university and the other is in motor vehicle maintenance.

  Before working at Ringstead, I worked at Heathrow Airport where I found my love for travelling around the world, visiting all but one of the continents - I hope to get to Antarctica one day.

  I also help at the Ringstead Scout Group so am often away camping, canoeing and hiking. I enjoy the cinema, going to the theatre or curling up with a good book.

• Miss Alyshia Spring
  Teaching Assistant (Apprentice) and Wrap Around Care Staff
  Miss Alyshia Spring

  Hello, my name is Miss Spring. I joined Ringstead CE Primary School in September 2024 as an After-School Club Assistant and have since progressed into my current role as a Teaching Assistant Apprentice. I am passionate about helping children grow in confidence and develop a love for learning, and I strive to bring patience and creativity into everything I do.

  I feel very fortunate to be a part of the Ringstead team and I am excited to continue learning and developing in my role. One of the things I value most is the opportunity to learn from the children themselves, just as much as I hope they learn from me.

  Outside of school, I treasure time with my family, whether that's enjoying days out together, getting creative with crafts, or relaxing with a cosy movie night. I believe it's often the simple moments in life that hold the greatest meaning. I feel incredibly fortunate to have two wonderful daughters and aspire every day to be the best mum I can be.

  Looking ahead, I hope to continue building strong relationships within the school community and to support every child in reaching their full potential.
