Michele Spencer
Headteacher


I love being Headteacher here at St Cleer. The school value that resonates most with me is be determined! It has helped me a lot in life. My children Arthur and Annie, inspire me. They are fearless and enthusiastic which inspires me to be so too.
When I'm not at work you will find me enjoying time with my family, in the sea, running through woods or cooking.



Jenifer Kite
Year 6 Assistant Headteacher
English Lead


I am Miss Kite. The school value that resonates with me the most is curiosity because I enjoy finding out new things, exploring new places and I love asking questions. My favourite book is The Day the Crayons Quit. In my spare time I enjoy cooking food from all over the world and even more so, I love eating food that has been prepared for me! My personal role model is David Attenborough as I am extremely envious of all the amazing places he has explored and the incredible animals he has encountered. Did you know I have travelled to 60 countries?

Anna Linsley

I am delighted to be working at St Cleer! I have been a Primary School Teacher for 25+ years, with the last 11 years supporting children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities as SENDCo. When I am not at school, I love to spend my time with family and friends, reading, baking and doing Bootcamps! I am a qualified Triathlon Coach, training the Junior sector of Plymouth Tri Club each week. I have also been known to dabble in a triathlon or two of my own! I believe that Be Enthusiastic is the most important school value. “Knowledge is power, but enthusiasm pulls the switch.”

Georgina Harden
Year 2

My name is Miss Harden and I joined St Cleer Primary School in September 2021. The school value that speaks to me the most is determination. I try to be determined in everything that I do as I believe it helps me to achieve my goals. When I am not at work I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, and exploring new places - I would love to explore new places all over the world!

Jake Lewis
Year 1/2
Computing and Music Lead

Kate Rudd
EYFS Lead
R/1

I am the Reception/Year 1 class teacher and EYFS lead. The school value that resonates with the most is being curious because: this leads the children to instigate learning and to be inspired to learn. It also makes me feel that learning can be spontaneous fun, holistic with shared communication and enriched language opportunities My favourite book is ‘Little Rabbit Foo Foo’. I like it because it is a funny, the story is repetitive and the children can quickly learn the actions enabling it to be a shared expression story. In my spare time I am always drawn to the local beaches and being outside. I often run, walk, paddle board and Kayak. My personal role model is my mum, she has an abundance of patience and a questioning style that leads you to find your own solution to a problem. Did you know an octopus has three hearts and the colour of its blood is blue?


Lisa Nute
Year R/1
Art Lead
Phonics Champion

My name is Mrs Nute and I an teaching in Year R/1. The school value that resonates with me the most is being determined because I believe we can all achieve great things when we try our very best. “You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think” A.A Milne. My favourite book is Wonder by R.J Palacio which is a moving and inspiring story about a boy call August. The book reminds us to always be kind and the importance of equality. In my spare time I like to spend time with my family in the great outdoors, exploring new places and being by the sea. I love to be on the water, stand up paddling boarding, kayaking and swimming! I have lots of role models but I have recently been reading about Jessica Watson who is an Australian sailor who at the age of 16, overcame her fear of the water and sailed around the world. Her story reminds me that anyone can overcome their fears and develop resilience to overcome setbacks. Her story inspired me because it proves if you work hard you can achieve anything.

Daisy Rowe
Reception 


My name is Miss Rowe and I am lookng forward to working in Reception again this year. 

Nicky Goldsmith
TiS Lead
Teaching Assistant


I am delighted to be working with lots of classes! The school value that means a lot to me is CURIOUS - it's important for me to be curious as I am always looking to support children in my role as a Trauma Informed Practitioner. My favourite books are by E.V. Thompson, as they are written about Cornwall , the mines and village life back then. In my spare time I spend my time riding my horses, walking dogs and keeping chickens, which keep me very busy! Did you know that the Queen is the only person that does not have or need a passport!

Oli Jones

Hello I am Mr Jones - you will find me running coastal paths, raising money for the Liskeard Food Bank or walking my dog Amber. Be active and outside are just some of the things I am passionate about and I am committed to inspiring this passion amongst the children, parents and staff that I work with.


Kate Palmer
School Administrator

Lorainne Clack
Teaching Assistant

Hello, I am Mrs Clack. The school value that resonates with me the most is kindness because giving and receiving kindness makes us all happier. My favourite book is Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin, I recommend it for when you are older. In my spare time I bake, sew and write poetry. My personal role model is my sister because she is brilliant, diplomatic and calm. Did you know I work as a volunteer as an interpreter for the deaf at church services?

Rebecca Whitty
Preschool Assistant


I am really pleased to be working in Pre School again. The school value that means the most to me is determination. I used these skills often while completing my degree and also my Post Graduate while working at school. It showed me that you can achieve anything with the correct support system and tools! My favourite book is the Harry Potter series. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, especially my two nephews and my niece. I also love spending time with my animals. You will also find me horse riding across Bodmin Moor and taking in all of our beautiful country side. Did you know, I am part of the country’s biggest rural youth organisation ‘young farmers’ and I have helped my club raise thousands of pounds for local and national charities. One very close to my heart is Meningitis Now.


Anna Fry
Teaching Assistant

I have been a teaching assistant at the school for over 10 years. I have worked in both key stages but mainly in key stage 2. The school value that resonates with me the most is creative because I enjoy sewing, crocheting, cooking and drawing. I enjoy swimming both in a pool and more recently in the sea. Did you know I hold a full bike licence?

Amber Hillyard
Teaching Assistant


This year I am really pleased to be working in Year 6 again. The school value that means the most to me is BE CREATIVE as creativity is an often-overlooked skill that I believe everyone has within them. Creativity can be anything, from how you choose to tackle problems to painting, drawing and the arts. Being creative fills a large part of my time not only at school, but also in my free time. I like to draw and paint and I design my own wrapping paper. I love reading and some of my favourite books are the Harry Potter series because not only do they describe good overcoming evil, but they also promote loyalty, friendship and supporting one another through tough times. Plus, everyone should believe in a bit of magic! Did you know? - I feature in a number of illustrated Thomas the Tank Engine books.

Erin Hill
Teaching Assistant



This year I am really pleased to be working in EYFS and KS1.
