Hello! I’m Raquel, and I am thrilled to be joining Newland’s Primary School and community.

I am passionate about supporting children and their families. I have been working in this space for over 5 years, specialising in disability and mental health. Over this time, I have worked with children and all others across the lifespan also working alongside parents and supports to improve their children’s social, emotional, and educational needs. I also enjoy working with animals and am a registered dog handler in animal assisted therapy with my dogs Olly and Finn. 

I am keen to be a support to all of you and look forward to meeting everyone at Newlands Primary School.
