Joanna Drake – This is my eighth year at UCPS and I have had the privilege of working as a Learning Coach across all of the key stages. For the last few years, I have been happily based in Key Stage 2, supporting children with additional needs and have enjoyed providing enrichment for children in STEM by running small sessions in years 5 and 6.
My background is in Psychology and Biology, previously working in the area of Neuroscience, researching memory and language disorders.
At home, I enjoy time with family and friends. I love to cook, read and make things. I love animals and nature and have lots of pets to keep me busy. I also enjoy being outside, walking and camping (preferably somewhere warm!)
