Beetles

Our Teacher - Miss Doughton 

I have worked at The Batt School since 2018, where I have worked in Years 2, 3 and 4.
However, I love exploring the learning in all year groups through my work as a Phase Lead, Maths Lead and Mental Health Lead. 

As a dyslexic, I have always enjoyed learning, despite having to discover ways to make it work for me.
I studied Primary Education (BA Hons) at The University of the West of England, Bristol. I loved teaching in Bristol and thoroughly enjoyed the diversity of the city.
Since then, I remained as a student at UWE and have completed a Masters in Education. 
My Masters dissertation focused on children’s mental health; a topic I am passionate about and find fascinating. 
Because of this, I became the Mental Health Lead and am now a mental health first aider. 
Alongside this, I am also Maths Lead and have enjoyed improving the consistency of the teaching offered from
EYFS to year 6. As a child, I had a difficult relationship with maths so I am passionate about teaching
in a visual way so all children can appreciate the connections and relationships between different aspects of number.
Maths should be enjoyable and is a subject every child can master!
In my spare time, I love to be out and about in the countryside with my spaniel. I spend as much time as possible in Devon and Cornwall
and aim to walk the whole of the coastal path one day. I also love to bake!
