A CREATIVE teacher with a passion for art has landed an exciting new job.

Rebecca Milne, who specialises in art and design, started her teaching career as a volunteer at Wilmslow Prep and has now been appointed as the school's early years' manager.

The mum-of-two enjoyed working with children of various ages in kindergarten, reception and in the primary school, as she gained experience.

Her innovative work included studying painting, printing, drawing, clay, welding and soldering.

For her final piece, this gifted artist created a seven-foot metal sculpture.

The award-winning reception teacher has now been appointed as the school’s new early years’ manager.

Rebecca said: “I’m thrilled to bring my creative passion to the role of early years’ manager for reception and kindergarten pupils.

“I have always loved art ever since I was a little girl and children in my own classes have won first place awards at the National ISA Art Competition.”

Rebecca started her career by volunteering in the reception class at Wilmslow Prep in 2010 and became a kindergarten teacher the following year.

The school says has proven herself to be a flexible, adaptive teacher, dealing with various unexpected situations, including a burst pipe in her first term.

“Every day in teaching brings new challenges and moments of pure joy,” said Rebecca.

“At Wilmslow Prep, children are fortunate to be part of a small, caring, and nurturing environment.

“They are encouraged to take risks, build resilience, and develop a sense of wellbeing.

“I am honoured to be part of such an experienced and enthusiastic team which aims to develop and encourage life experiences for the pupils.”

Headteacher Bradley said: “Rebecca has been an asset to the school since day one.

“Her enthusiasm and engaging approach to the roles she has undertaken have been wonderful.

“The quality of the artwork displayed around the school has her stamp all over it.

“I know that parents will welcome her appointment.”
