Mr Robinson

I am Mr Robinson, and I am delighted to have joined the Highwood community. I have many years of experience teaching across KS2, though my passion lies with teaching Years 5 and 6. The final years of primary school are incredibly important and it is always fantastic to see the children grow and develop in terms of maturity and independence, preparing them for the adventures ahead at secondary school and beyond.

Within the classroom, I love teaching both Maths and English (especially creative writing), though my greatest love will always be sports and PE. I am always keen to help children develop their physical skills as well as their academic ones. To me, that is just as important. Indeed, outside of the classroom, I can often be found playing tag rugby, golf or sometimes going for a run. Although I do love a good book too. I am a huge Harry Potter and Alex Rider fan!

Mr Williams

Hi! I am Mr Williams, and I am delighted to be part of the Highwood team!  I have many years of experience teaching across KS2 and I am looking forward to this year with Year 5!

One of my favourite parts of teaching is being able to provide the children with the tools they need to succeed as individuals and then see them grow throughout the year. I enjoy teaching all subjects, but my favourite is maths. I love spending time with the children exploring all the different methods and having discussions about number patterns. It is great when a child has that ‘lightbulb moment’ during maths because someone has explained a ‘trick’ or a new method to them!

Outside of teaching and the classroom I love spending time with my family. We often spend our time on the beach or just out and about getting some fresh air! In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my friends, playing golf and playing/watching football – although watching isn’t always enjoyable as the team I support (Leeds) aren’t that good! I also enjoy watching films. My favourite is the Pirates of the Caribbean!
