Hello, my name is Lynne Badman and I work in Reception Ducklings Class.  I have worked at The Brook School since the school opened in September 1999.

I love helping the children to settle in when they start school and teaching them new skills. Its very gratifying to watch them progress through their first year at school and become confident independent children.

I enjoy walking, going to the cinema and spending time with my family.
