Hello, My name is Jo, I am the Level 2 Teaching Assistant in Upton Class. I have been working in this class for more than five years and love supporting the pupils in their first experiences of school life. 

I have been working here at Montacute School for 11 years and have worked mostly in the lower school classes. 

I am a Signing Champion and have had specialist training to support students with Visual Impairments and am also a champion in Sherborne Developmental Movement which supports children's physical development. 

Outside of school I love spending time with my family, especially my two young grandchildren and I also enjoy going to the gym.
