Timetable - Sir Henry Fermor Primary School, Crowborough

Meet the Teachers at Sir Henry Fermor Primary School

• 

  Robert

  Teacher (Saturday)

  Robert joined us after he decided to have a career change after nearly 10 years in Retail Management. He spent a lot of time when in college, visiting primary schools to teach PE lessons, so has been able to put some of those skills to good use in the pool. 

  He joined us as a Poolside Assistant and has recently qualified as a Baby and Pre-school teacher. He is also training to teach Swim Academy. 

  What appealed to me about teaching swimming was that I can teach children a skill that will stay with them for life. I was drawn to Puddle Ducks as I believe the water safety and survival skills they teach are really important.

  Louisa

  Teacher (Sunday)

  Louisa has over 13 years experience as a primary school teacher but she left to become a stay at home mum to her three children. She joined Puddle Ducks at the end of 2022 as a Poolside Assistant. Fast forward 8 months and she is qualified to teach both Swim Academy and Baby & Pre-school. 

  My own children show the range of attitudes to swimming. My daughter loves the water and is super confident. My middle one is incredibly cautious. I started Puddle Ducks with him to build up that water confidence and awareness of how to stay safe. Maybe the youngest will be somewhere in between. 

  I have loved working with children again and seeing the leaps in both confidence and ability, it was the part of teaching I really missed.
