Clarity Independent School
"Refreshed learning that changes lives."
Debbie Hanson
Head Teacher
In my spare time, I love to walk my dog, PJ in the countryside. He is a golden cocker spaniel, and very mischievous! I have to wear trainers to keep up with him; however, this is good, because he keeps me fit! The only thing is, that he loves to roll and swim around in deep mud and get filthy, so he often comes out as a dark brown / black dog muddy dog with only one clean golden orange tuft of hair on the top of his head! He hates having a bath so this usually involves him being chased round the garden with a hose pipe!

Deputy Head Teacher
I have a very busy life outside of school. I like to spend lots of quality time with my family and walking my dog, Guinness. I also have a great love of music: listening to music, playing music and going to live music events, as well as singing with a band and also a choir (performing quite recently on BBC radio and BBC tv).
Michelle Gater
SEN Teacher
In my spare time I love to spend time with family, there is nothing I like more than to be surrounded by the people I love, feeding them either roast dinners or barbeques when I can.
I also like to read books, especially in the summer when I can do this outdoors. I love to be in the garden but not really into gardening other than growing vegetables.
Living so close to the sea you will often find me on a nice sunny day taking a long walk along the promenade, usually in a hunt for a nice ice-cream.

I am a huge fan of animals and have two pet dogs; Labradoodles called Luna and Muffin. They love being walked in the woods and along the beach. I ride and sometimes compete in local dressage competitions; my horse is called Die. My garden is another hobby and I love to plant flowers and experiment with growing vegetables. I have also been on some adventures too...
