All About Me...
My name is Mrs McDermid. I’ve been Headteacher at Collierley for nearly four years. That photo below is me as a young child. You can just about see my favourite bike in the background.
My Story
I don’t think I have changed one bit – do you!
I’ve been a teacher for quite a few years! My first ever job was in an infant school in York, where I taught in every year group (except nursery).
​
Before moving back to the North East I went travelling for a year going to lots of different countries: Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, America and Canada. I’ve always loved travelling to new places near and far.
​
My favourite place in England I think has to be Bamburgh Castle and beach, but there so many wonderful places to visit. My favourite subjects to teach are Forest School and Maths and I love OPaL playtimes. You’ll often see me trying to join in with these activities around school and wearing wellies with dresses
I’ve developed a new interest in making things out of old tyres.
It’s amazing what you can do with a bit of paint! Have a look around school to see what creatures you can find.
​
I’ve got two girls, Ruby and Rosie, who you will hear about from time to time. They love to come in to school too.
