Our Staff

I have been the Head at Bevington since September 15 and I love working here. The children and families are amazing and every day is packed. I joined the school after working in Harrow and Ealing for the last 10 years, which I thoroughly enjoyed.  I also inspect for Ofsted when I have time!

My name is Mr Byrne-Smith and I am the Deputy Headteacher at Bevington.  I am responsible for our Curriculum and Assessment, as well as making sure that all children at Bevington are happy and safe through my role as the school’s Designated Safeguarding Lead.  I also teach Year 6 children Maths.  I have worked in lots of different schools in my time as a teacher and my aim is using this experience to make Bevington the best school in the country.

Having been brought up in London, I moved to Brighton to study Psychology at The University of Sussex, before going on to complete a PGCE at St Mary’s in Twickenham.  Before starting at Bevington, I worked at a school in Hammersmith and Fulham for 6 years where I led maths and taught in both key stage 1 and 2.  Currently, I am teaching in Reception (Elm Class). As well as teaching in Reception, I lead Assessment and Curriculum across the school.  Outside of school, I enjoy travelling and exploring new places, baking treats for others to enjoy, reading and running.

I arrived at Bevington in July 2013 after teaching for 4 years in secondary schools around Birmingham and Worcestershire. I completed my undergraduate degree at Sheffield Hallam University and completed my PGCE at the University of Worcester. Currently, I am teaching a mixed Year 3/4 class (Sequoia Class).  Away from school I enjoy spectating and participating in a wide range of sports and physical activities.

At Bevington I am responsible for standards in KS2.

It was working on a children’s summer camp in America that first inspired me to become a teacher. After completing my PGCE, I spent 5 years working at a school in Tower Hamlets, before moving across London to lead Early Years at Bevington.
