Meet the teacher - Mr Toogood

I am proud and privileged to work at Holy Cross as the Assistant Headteacher and class teacher. I have been teaching for 11 years and in that time, I have taught in schools in Swindon, Oxford, Bristol and Somerset. I have taught across the primary phases including KS1, LKS2 and UKS2. Previously, I have worked at another Catholic primary school in the diocese of Clifton. I have held a variety of positions including Humanities lead, PE lead, Science lead, Art and DT lead, Maths lead, curriculum lead and staff governor. I have a passion for working with children and allowing all children to reach their full potential and to let their light shine (Matthew 5:15-16).
I love working with the wider community and firmly believe that together we can support our children to reach any goal they put their mind to. I work on an open-door basis and will welcome any opportunity to get to know you all or talk to you about your child's education.
Outside of school, I love spending time with my family and friends. I love reading and the occasional binge watch of a series.
Meet the teacher - Ms Michienzi

I have worked at Holy Cross for over 14 years now and I have loved every moment of it especially watching all of the children I have worked with grow and develop. Holy Cross is a special school to me as I attended Holy Rood as a child, and some of the teachers that taught me are still here now! I started off as a teaching assistant and decided to develop my career further in becoming a teacher and this is something I had to work very hard for. This also means that I have been lucky enough to work across all year groups, from year 1 to year 6, in my time as a teaching assistant and teacher.
I have recently come back from maternity leave after having my first child, which has been amazing. I absolutely love being a mum.
Outside of school I love spending time with my family. We love going swimming together, going out for walks and enjoying the local parks. I also love baking and cooking, especially when others can enjoy it at family gatherings or parties.
I can’t wait to watch you all grow and develop into fantastic learners this year.
