I am the Reception Class Teacher here at St Andrews and also the Leader of Early Years across St Andrew's and Potters Gate School.

Hello, I'm Zoe Wild.I feel very privileged to have joined the St Andrew's teaching team in 2020. The school has such a warm and welcoming feel and the children are lovely.Together with my family, I have recently moved to Farnham from Cambridgeshire where I had trained and worked as a teacher.I have two teenage daughters who are both in secondary school. We are all enjoying getting to know the area, especially by finding some brilliant new walks with our dog. We are really looking forward to lots more adventures and exploring together. -
Zara MundayButterfly Class Teacher
Zara Munday
My educational journey began many years ago when I was a pupil at Potters Gate school myself! In fact, it was my very first teacher that inspired me to want to join the profession. Potters Gate happened to be recruiting when I eventually qualified, and I was thrilled to be able to become a part of the teaching team there in a school that has always meant so much to me. I have remained at Potters Gate ever since and now work there on a part-time basis. This year I was very happy to be asked to join the St Andrew's team in the Butterfly class. It has been lovely to be welcomed into the St Andrew's community and I feel lucky to be part of both schools.
In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family, being out in nature, reading, meditation and wild swimming.

Anna HuttOtter Class Teacher
Anna Hutt
Hello! My name is Anna Hutt and I have lived in Farnham my whole life. I started working at Potters Gate as a Teaching Assistant in 2017 and loved it so much I decided to train as a teacher there. I qualified in 2019 and have taught at Potters Gate until September 2021 when I joined the St Andrew's team.
I have had a varied career before coming to teaching. I've worked on farms, in riding stables, offices and warehouses; I can drive a forklift truck and a tractor if needs be! Teaching however is my vocation, and I am thoroughly enjoying the privilege of helping children discover their own passions and skills.
In my personal life I provide a loving home for a Cocker spaniel who is not nearly as well behaved as the children at St Andrew's and Potters Gate but we try our best! I enjoy walking, reading and going on adventures with friends.

Sarah Wilkins
Hello, my name is Sarah Wilkins and I've been working at St. Andrew's School since 2007. At the moment, I spend my time in Kingfisher class in my role as Teaching Assistant. I joined the school when my own children were finishing their time at St. Andrew's, and am now proud to be a part of the team that provided them with such a great start to their learning.
Away from school, I love spending time with my family, 'encouraging' my children to do their homework and struggling through my own (yes, I'm still studying too!) When our work is done, we enjoy walking, reading and an annual trip to France in search of the sun!

Claire Byus
Hello my name is Claire Byus and I have been a teacher for over 20 years at a number of different schools in Farnham, where I have taught children from Reception to Year 6. Having been a class teacher at St Andrew's for 6 years, mainly in Years 1 and 2, I left in July 2018 to become a foster carer.
I am now privileged to be able to combine my foster carer role with that of a Learning Support Assistant in Otter Class. St Andrew's is a very special school with a happy, caring and friendly atmosphere. I feel part of its extended family and am excited to be back at a place that I never really left. I have two grown-up sons who live in London. I enjoy reading, gardening and knitting (particularly socks). I also sing in a local choir.
