Laneshaw Bridge Primary School Headteacher

Gaynor spent much of her time growing up playing in orchestra’s. Having studied music at Leeds University she went on to teacher training college before taking up a post in 1995 Laneshaw Bridge Primary School. Her career as a teacher at Laneshaw Bridge has taken her to America and India on various exchanges visiting schools and delivering CPD. Gaynor’s passion is early years and early childhood development, but her career has given her experience throughout Primary.
