Miss F Browne – Year 1 Teacher and Computing Subject Lead
Having completed a Musical Theatre Degree at the University Essex, I settled back into Norfolk where I became a Teaching Assistant supporting the learning of children within Year 1 and promoting a whole school love for music and performance. In 2015 I then completed a PGCE at the University of East Anglia. I then joined the Edward Worlledge family and began my teaching career. I find it very rewarding to see how the children develop and progress throughout their time with us and still find time to support the arts in and out of the academy.
Mr R Carter – SRB Teacher
Having completed a BSc Hons degree in sports rehabilitation and injury prevention at Middlesex University I returned to Norfolk to work in education. I completed the Graduate Teacher Program in secondary PE over 10 years ago and have been working in special needs schools for the past 6 years. I have a passion for sport; particularly skiing, rugby and football. I enjoy spending time with my family and travelling as much as I can. I am looking forward to working at Edward Worlledge and supporting the children to learn the skills to be the best version of themselves.
Miss M Clare – Year 3 Teacher and History Subject Lead
I have worked at the academy since 2015, having taught across KS2. Prior to this, I completed an English Language and Linguistics degree at the University of Kent. I then undertook a PGCE at The University of East Anglia in primary education.
I am passionate about making learning an interactive and engaging experience for all children.

Having completed a teaching degree at the University of Hull, I joined Edward Worlledge as an NQT. I have been teaching here for twelve years now across many year groups. I completed my SENCO training three years ago and am passionate about supporting our teachers in creating an inclusive learning environment which helps children overcome their barriers to learning and enables every child to reach their full potential.

After completing my English Literature degree at Reading University, I began my teacher training back in Norfolk at UEA. I have worked at Edward Worlledge for 4 years and am still enjoying working with children.

I grew up in Norfolk and worked in the baby room of a nursery, before moving up North to complete my BA Primary Education with QTS at Durham University.

Miss C Mills – Reception Instructor
Miss V Munford – Year 1 Teacher
After completing my BA (Hons) Degree in English and French from the University of London, I went on to teach English overseas for eight years, during which time I completed a DELTA post-graduation course. Upon my return, I undertook a PGCE course with Norfolk & Suffolk SCITT and trained at Edward Worlledge Ormiston Academy. I am dedicated to helping all children to fulfil their full potential and become happy, confident and independent learners.
Miss S Smith – Class Teacher
After completing a BA (Hons) degree in Primary Education at Roehampton University in London, I returned to Norfolk to begin my teaching journey here at Edward Worlledge Ormiston Academy. Since joining the team 9 years ago, I have been fortunate enough to teach a range of year groups including Year 4, Year 6 and Reception. I am passionate about supporting children to become creative, inquisitive and independent learners.
Mr J Stanhope-Smith – Year 6 Teacher and KS2 Lead
After finishing my Law Degree at Hull University, I came back home to Caister. I spent three years working with small groups in schools in and around Great Yarmouth. In 2009, I got a job covering a class in Year 4 at Edward Worlledge until the end of the year. I completed my teacher training in school, and qualified as a teacher in 2010. Since then I have taught in year 4, year 5 and for the past five years, in year 6.
Outside of the academy, I like spending time out on my bike, riding most weekends with friends. Last year I completed the Ride London 100 mile ride. When I’m not riding, or cleaning my bike, I like to watch the professionals do it. When I get the opportunity, I like to dive into books, especially those written by… cyclists. My favourite lesson to teach at the academy is maths, and love the breadth of skills that being a year six allows us to learn.
In April 2018 I became a dad to my first son, Bodhi, so when I’m not teaching, I love spending time reading and watching cycling with him. He doesn’t seem to enjoy the cycling books as much as his dad, but he does love a good picture book.

I have also been privileged to work in a British school in the north of the Netherlands, working closely with families from different nationalities in a diverse community. With all my roles I have maintained a teaching commitment and continued to develop my own classroom practice. I began teaching at Edward Worlledge in 2010 teaching in Year 6. I have taught across Key Stage 2 and I am currently enjoying the more recent challenges of being Vice Principal and Head of KS1 at Edward Worlledge. As part of the Designated Safeguarding Team I am trained as a Youth Mental Health First Aider and a Domestic Abuse Champion. I place the children I work with at the heart of everything I do and aim to ensure that every child develops positive behaviours for learning, aims high and achieves their very best.
