Who I AM

My name is Mrs Lara Price and I have been working in UK schools since 1999.

I was a school librarian and taught study skills, research skills and reading skills to students both as independent lessons and within subject lessons.

I was a Classics teacher and taught yr 5 through to yr 9. Whilst teaching the subject I also taught a variety of skills to help my students learn more effectively in class.

I was a Housemistress and have helped boarders settle into new environments for over twenty-five years.
