I started working at Braunstone Frith in 2006 as an Newly Qualified Teacher (NQT) at the Junior School. I have been dedicated to the children in this community ever since and cannot imagine working anywhere else. I have always loved being part of the Braunstone Frith team and I am proud to now lead the team as Head of School. I strongly believe that positive, professional relationships are the foundations for all that we do and I strive to ensure that every pupil and every member of staff has a sense of belonging to the Braunstone Frith team.

Lotus De Cort

I first came to Braunstone Frith Primary in 2018 for my 2nd teacher training placement and loved the school from the moment that I walked in through the door. Following this, I went on to work at the school as a Teaching Assistant and I’m now employed as a cover supervisor,. This has given me experience across the school and working with children in all the different year groups. I also attend monthly support staff focus group meetings as co-staff representative and liaise between staff and leadership.

I am very pleased to be given the opportunity to contribute further as a staff governor and look forward to supporting the continued development and enrichment of the children, the staff and the school as a whole.

I have had the pleasure of working with Braunstone Frith Primary Academy for many years. I have always been struck by the dedication and passion of the staff working with the children, determined to get the very best out of them and to do the very best for them. As a teacher I am passionate about ensuring that children have a wealth of opportunities to grow and develop as people and learners. I wanted to become a governor of Braunstone Frith Primary Academy to support and challenge school leaders to ensure the hard work in the school continues and that the children leave as confident and competent young people.
