Meet The Teaching Team

Miss Wilds

After spending my childhood in Hertfordshire, I moved to Bangor to study Psychology at University before completing my PGCE with the University of Chester. I spent the first year of my teaching life in North Wales before moving to Shrewsbury in 2022, where I spent some time getting to know the schools in the area as a Supply Teacher. Not long after, I had the pleasure of starting to teach KS1 at Newtown, where I am thrilled to be continuing my teaching career. Helping young children realise their potential and finding joy in learning is my true passion. 

In my spare time, I love any opportunity to get outdoors, whether this be paddleboarding, camping or simply going on a peaceful walk. I also enjoy games nights with friends, finding a cosy place to read, live music and visiting the theatre. Above all, I enjoy visiting my wonderful family and loved ones.

Mrs Coburn

I have been a teaching assistant for the past 12 years, working initially at Ellesmere Primary and then at Newtown for the past 6 years.  I love working with children, helping them to develop as individuals and reach their full potential.   I particularly love anything musical as I have a degree in Music and this is a passion that underpins my working life.

Away from school, I enjoy spending time with my family and am an enthusiastic and long term member of a local choir. 

Mrs Braithwaite

I have worked as a teaching assistant for the past 11 years, I have spent nearly 6 of those years at Newtown. I absolutely adore my job here at Newtown Primary School and I love to see all the children flourish and thrive in their learning environment.

In my spare time I am a busy mum to my three boys who constantly keep me on my toes! I also enjoy going to the gym and have been known to fit in the odd bit of baking when I get the chance.
