Staff Profiles
Abbie Underwood- Principal
This is my 3rd year at Welford primary, having worked in both the private and public sector during my 10 years teaching. I have worked in both big town primary and small village primary and taught all years groups in my career.
I am passionate about lifelong learning and have recently achieved my NPQH qualification.
What I love about Welford, Sibbertoft and Sulby school is that I know all the children by name and have the pleasure of being involved in their learning daily. I am passionate about SEND as I am dyslexic, but view it as my super power and want every child to be able to reach their full potential.
Outside of school I am a mum to 3 boys. We love going away in our caravan in the school holidays especially to Wales and the Lake District.

This is my 15th year at Welford, Sibbertoft and Sulby Endowed Primary I started my teaching career here and have taught across EYFS and KS1.
Before I was a teacher I worked as a teaching assistant and at a number of holidays camps both in the UK and Europe. I love working with children and getting to know them and their families and using their individuality to help them on their learning journey. I am passionate about active learning both inside and outside the classroom and want all children to develop a love of learning to ensure they reach their own potential.

Kate Sandells- Teacher
I have been working at Welford, Sibbertoft and Sulby Endowed Primary School since 2006. I started my teaching career here and have taught in all year groups from year 1 to year 6. Before I trained as a teacher, I worked as a Service Manager for the NHS managing the Stroke Services across the Leicester hospitals. I enjoy working with and getting to know children and young people and working out what ways of learning work best for them. I love English and reading for pleasure. My favourite part of my job is our daily story time! Outside of school I am mum to two children and a lovable cocker spaniel called Billy. I enjoy watching football and have been a season ticket holder for my local team Leicester City for many years.
