Hello, my name is Kate. Thank you for taking the time to visit the website. Here is a little about the story behind Kingfisher Activities. 

​

Having completed my PGCE at Exeter University & taught PE for the past 16 years, I decided to pursue my love & enthusiasm for learning,

outside of the education setting.

​

During my teaching career I have been fortunate enough to teach in two outstanding schools in Devon, both in the state & private sector. Having undertaken roles such as the KS4 lead for enrichment activities, head of gifted & talented & being head of PE & Sport, has given me a wealth of experience in delivering & planning programmes for ages spanning 4-18.

 

All of the knowledge gained in my roles, has ignited a passion within me for ensuring educational experiences both on & off the sports field are enjoyable,

engaging & inclusive. Currently I teach PE part time alongside establishing Kingfisher Activities.

​

Although hockey has always been my main sport having played at National League level for many years & representing the West of England, I also have a love for cricket having represented Somerset for a number of years. In addition, my new interests have taken me back to the swimming pool. Currently I enjoy swimming for the masters at my local swimming club & I have enjoyed participating in open water swimming, winning the first competition I entered at the

Exmoor Open Water 2km event. 

​

 I hope to meet some of you soon.
