Head of Provision

Kerry

Hello, I’m Kerry, Head of Provision at Serenity Pathways. I was previously Manager of a large early years setting and have over 10 years’ experience in the sector, as well as experience working across other alternative provisions. I am passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where every learner can thrive. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my children and family, reading, and taking trips to the coast.

I am passionate about supporting young people to feel safe, valued, and confident in their learning journey, and I use the Thrive Approach to help them build emotional resilience and positive connections. I value being part of a nurturing and creative environment where every learner is encouraged to reach their full potential.

Lead Teacher and Forest School Co-ordinator

Kate

Hello, I’m Kate, Lead Teacher and Forest School Co-ordinator at Serenity Pathways. Throughout my teaching career I have believed in the importance of developing positive and supportive relationships with the young people in my care. I believe every child should feel safe,valued, and supported in order to achieve their full potential and aim to create learning opportunities that are focused on their personal interests and needs. I especially believe in taking young people outdoors to show them the beauty of nature and share the opportunities it provides for learning, empathy and making connections. Outside of work, I am a keen sports fan, especially rugby and netball, and love taking long walks with my dog then unwinding with a book or film.

SENCO

Sam

Hello, I’m Sam, SENCO at Serenity Pathways. I am also a qualified Early Years Practitioner with over 10 years’ experience supporting children with a wide range of needs. I am committed to ensuring every learner receives the right support to reach their full potential. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my children, looking after my three dogs, and relaxing with my children.
