With
LPS Headteacher
Mrs Crook
H
ave you ever been a head teacher before you came to LPS?
“Well I have in a way, I have been an acting head teacher in Robert Owen and Leadhills primary schools, an acting head teacher means when the head teacher is off this is when the role of an acting head teacher would step in.”
Do you enjoy being a head teacher?
“I enjoy being a head teacher very much, but to be honest it is loads of hard work but is rewarding to see the pupil’s learning develop more every day and the stories the children tell, I also enjoy being with the staff and seeing what’s going on.”
How long have you been a teacher for?
“I have been a teacher for 16 years, and I have enjoyed every single year.”
Did you have another job before you were a teacher?
“Before I stated working in schools, I worked in a food place in Lanark called ‘Nibbles’. At that point I was also studying, but it was fun being at Nibbles.”
