Class Teacher Teaching Support Assistant
My name is Miss Cooke and I have been a member of staff at Waterside for almost a decade! I have taught Year 6 for many years now and am also Phase Leader for Key Stage two. When I am not busy in Sharks class, I also lead Reading, Latin and Music. My favourite subject to teach is Writing as I used to teach English in high school!
Our Teaching Assistant is Miss Proffitt and we are very lucky to have her in our lives because she is a qualified teacher herself! Miss Proffitt has been working at Waterside for a couple of years now and has already made a massive impact with her positive attitude and wealth of knowledge she brings.
