A little bit about me…

Hi, my name is Anne Page, I’ve been a Lunchtime Supervisor since November 2016, but I’ve been a voluntary helper in lots of areas since my daughter started St Benet’s in 1997.  I also work as a Registered Childminder; at the last count, I’ve cared for 22 current and ex-pupils at St Benet’s.  I love to spend time with my family, and I’m happiest when my three daughters are home with me!   In my spare time, I love to read and do crossword puzzles, and I enjoy baking.

My favourite children’s book is…

As a child I was an avid reader so it’s hard to pick just one favourite.  I loved all of Enid Blyton’s books, and I read all of the Secret Seven, Famous Five and Five Find-outers adventures many times, always wishing I could have such exciting adventures.  The ‘St Clair’s’ and ‘Malory Towers’ made me wish I could go to boarding school, although I’m sure they didn’t reflect any type of reality!  I also read many classic stories, Alice In Wonderland, Black Beauty, Little Women, The Wizard of Oz to name a few.  Reading was, and still is, my passion!

The thing I love about St Benet’s is…

that it is so much more than just a school.  There is always a happy and relaxed atmosphere, and the children and staff are wonderful.  There is a strong emphasis on caring for each other and being kind always, qualities which make the world a better place.
