My teaching passions are the arts (particularly music), PE and writing. My passions outside of school mostly involve getting outside and being active - playing soccer, running, going to the beach and I love spending time relaxing at my house out in the country.

Bonjour! I’m Rachel Mason and I teach in Wharite Team. I absolutely love teaching the junior children of our school, as they bring so much energy, excitement and enthusiasm with them as they start their learning journeys. In my spare time I enjoy playing netball, heading out along our beautiful river walks with my dog Lucy and spending time with family and friends.
