I’m a passionate Early Years educator with over 7 years of experience at St. Andrews Sathorn, where I’ve had the opportunity to work in both the PE department and now in the Early Years team. I completed my PGCE through the University of Sunderland in Hong Kong and recently earned my MA in International Education.

I believe in the power of play-based learning and love supporting children as they explore the world through their own interests. Those magical “light bulb” moments are what drive my passion for teaching. My goal is always to create a warm, engaging environment where children feel confident, curious, and excited to learn.

The Early Years of Education are the foundation for a lifetime of learning. At St. Andrews Sathorn, our Gold-accredited British curriculum and nurturing environment help young children flourish both academically and emotionally. Join us for this special event to learn about our Early Years programme and gain valuable insights as a parent.

What parents are saying about us!

From the first moment the four of us went in through the school gates in August 2011, we knew we had found somewhere special. Both our kids started at two years old in nursery and made their way through to year 6. It has shaped our children’s lives and has prepared them for their next big step. We moved back to Germany for a year, but it was such a good feeling when we returned to meet old friends and teachers again.

St. Andrews always felt like family. It is a small school and teachers are caring and encouraging. Our children loved coming here and the school has played a major part in them growing in generous and kind-hearted people, appreciating other cultures and traditions. We love how children, teachers and supportive staff communicate across age groups. Everyone knows everyone.

As our children now move on to Secondary, we gratefully bid this amazing school farewell. St. Andrews will always carry a special place in our hearts.

Sathorn Family

Since the first day, our trial class, Maria, my youngest daughter, was so impressed with her classmates who were very welcoming. They not only came to greet her but also gave her a toy to bring home. These made Maria very happy within a new school environment. When the school started, she sometimes could not understand what teachers said, she would ask her friends who sat near her. They are very helpful and helped Maria adapt to new the school environment easily.  Maria also loves her teachers who are caring and create a good classroom atmosphere. For these reasons, she really likes to go to school.

St. Andrews may not a big school but is a warm one, as every student know each other. Furthermore, the Head of School is very nice.  Every day in morning and afternoon, she will come to greet students at the front gate. It would be better if the school also provide us with senior high school. J

Thank you very much to Ms. Pennock, Miss Helen, Mr. Jerome, Ms Pearl, Ms. Bee and all the staff at St. Andrews Sathorn for your kind support.

Sathorn Family

Our children Paul and Dan have really flourished in their time at St Andrews.  We initially picked the school because we had been most impressed by Ms Karen’s hands-on approach, unfailingly visiting each classroom every morning, knowing what was going on with each child.  We also appreciated the central location, it is small in size and the cozy feeling.  Over time we saw both boys gain in confidence, and build many friendships which will no doubt last them a lifetime.  We also saw vast improvements in their spoken and written English, a language we don’t use at home, so it’s all credit to the school and its top-rate teachers.

We also appreciate the community which forms beyond the classroom.  We notice that our children greet and mingle with kids from different classes and years. The parents too, form a close-knit community and meet each other after class, on weekends, and even on holiday.  We feel we couldn’t have made a better choice for a first school for our children; St Andrews Sathorn instilled in them the fun of learning, and the pleasure of going to school.
