Meet Mrs Dexter- one of our EYFS teachers!

I was born in Carlisle in Cumbria and have lived in Ashby for over 10 years. After teaching in Manchester and Leicester I was lucky enough to become a Hill Topper in 2012. I have taught from Nursery through to Year 1 but my true passion lies with teaching the Reception Year. Hill Top has a very special place in my heart and I truly cannot imagine teaching anywhere else!

Meet Miss Spratt- one of our EYFS teachers!

I grew up in Leicester and moved closer to Ashby to complete my degree at the University of Derby. This is my second year teaching at Ashby Hill Top and I have had experience in both Key Stage 1 and in reception. I cannot wait to meet your child and see what the year ahead brings!
