Welcome to Our New Assistant Head and SENCO

Jan 14, 2026

We are delighted to introduce Caroline as the new Assistant Headteacher and Special Educational Needs Co‑ordinator (SENCO) at Ilminster Avenue Nursery School. Caroline brings a wealth of experience, a deep commitment to inclusive practice, and a genuine passion for supporting children and their families.

Caroline has shared a warm welcome message with our community:

“Hi, I’m Caroline and I’m the Assistant Headteacher and SENCO at Ilminster Avenue Nursery. I am passionate about giving every child the best possible start to their learning journey and making sure they feel safe, supported and happy in our nursery. I have a strong understanding of special educational needs and work closely with families and staff to support each child’s individual needs. Building trusting relationships is really important to me, and I am always available for a chat if you have any questions or worries. As a mum to four children, I understand how important it is to feel confident that your child is being cared for and supported, and I strongly believe that working together helps every child thrive. Outside of nursery, I enjoy running, cooking, and spending time with my blended family.”

If you see Caroline around the nursery, please do say hello — she is always happy to talk and support in any way she can.
