Hello, I'm Mrs Sheppard. I have been at Barley Close for many years now, first in the Nursery, and this will be my 7th year in reception. Although I have previously worked throughout the school, I particularly enjoy the early years and the enthusiasm for learning that comes with it. 

I have an interest in nature, the environment and conservation and am trained as a Forest School Leader.

Other than school, I enjoy spending my time with my 4 children, pets and reading.
