Class 2

Mrs Jones

Hello, I am Mrs Jones and I am so happy to be part of your child’s learning journey. I love being part of the the Year 1 “family” and I am so proud of everyone here at Etherley Lane.

I have had various roles in my time at Etherley Lane School and I am currently the Art and Design/Design and Technology Co-ordinator. I have studied for a PGCE course and a Diploma in Art and Design to support my role.

Sharing the excitement when children learn new things and watching them develop new interests is the best job in the world! Every day is a learning day for us all- discovering new things and working on new challenges.

Outside of school, I love reading all sorts of books and I am passionate about all aspects of art and design and architecture. I love to visit galleries and new places. I like visiting local nature reserves linked to Durham Wildlife Trust and supporting the RSPB by feeding the birds that visit my garden. I’m so excited when I see a new bird visiting! I have two children and I follow their chosen sports with great enthusiasm even when it’s tough.
