Mrs D Talbot, Class 19

I have been teaching for fifteen years and this is my fourth year at Oldway Primary School. I teach part time in the Foundation Stage, teaching Reception for one day a week and the Nursery for two and a half days. I really enjoy working with the youngest children and providing them with a fun filled and exciting beginning to their journey into school life.

When I’m not at school I am a mum to my two daughters who are 13 and 9. Both my children attended Oldway Primary School, with my youngest still being in Year 5. They keep me very busy and are starting to have more of a social life than me!

Outside of school, I am very sociable and enjoy spending time with my husband and friends. I love going out for meals and cooking at home. I enjoy hot holidays abroad or spending time at my beach hut at Preston. I am an active member of a local gym and enjoy burning off my socialising and holiday calories! I also have a twin sister, which can sometimes confuse lots of parents and children when they see us around Paignton!
