Angie Westall

I have been teaching for 20 years, previously working as a LSA for a one to one . in addition to this I also ran my own business as a dog behaviourist / mobile Pet Shop for three years.

After achieving my degree in Animal Science, I trained to be a teacher at St Joseph’s and through the many changes, still hold my teaching role at St Joseph’s.

I have three boys - my oldest is aged 10, and my twins who are 7.

I enjoy science, reading, walking, observing animals in their natural habitat and of course have a passion for teaching young minds, watching them explore, learn and achieve their full potential.

Life is busy, fun, challenging, enjoyable and hectic – but I wouldn’t change it for the world!

She also loves to do yoga.
