My name is Emma Flynn and I’ve been teaching in St. Peter’s for five years. I live in the Royal County with my husband and two young children and count myself 100% Meath as I was born and reared in the county.
Prior to teaching in St. Peter’s I taught a mainstream class for 12 years in another small school in the locality. I really enjoy working in a small school as it’s easy to get to know people and form a good rapport, with both the staff and parents. We all watch out for each other and work together as a small school family. I am an avid reader and have been all my life. If I manage to grab a free moment in the evenings, I can always be found with my nose stuck in a book. I love singing and am a member of a local choir. I am attempting to learn the piano. It’s not going so well at the moment, but it’s a long-term project… Maybe I’m a better teacher than student! |

Katie Mason - Special Education Teacher (SET)
My name is Katie Mason and I have been teaching for 17 years, 13 of which have been here in St. Peter’s N.S. I have taught all classes from Junior Infants up to 6th class along with EAL and SET. Each class and role has been memorable and unique. I love bumping into past pupils and their families to hear how they’re all getting on as they move through secondary school and into the wider world. I recently completed a postgraduate diploma in Educational Leadership and Management in Maynooth University. I enjoy engaging in further professional development courses in a range of different areas.
I love teaching all subjects in school in particular history and art which also reflect some of my interests outside of school. I also enjoy reading and spending time with my family, including my dog called Holly. A surprising fact about me is that I support Leicester City Football Club. I even had to give my 5th and 6th Class a week of no homework when we won the Premier League a few year’s ago!
I am so fortunate to work in an environment I enjoy everyday and to work alongside so many amazing colleagues. My hope is that the pupils in my care and who I teach also feel safe, happy and respected in our school environment so that they have the ability to learn and develop, not just academically but socially, emotionally and holistically too.
St. Peter’s N.S. is a very special place in my opinion as every teacher knows every pupil, and every pupil knows every teacher. It leads to a very cohesive, safe and supportive environment for pupils. It develops a really strong sense of belonging and a lovely community feel. The ethos and nature of our school is very child centred and all decisions are made based on what is best for the children. Our school has always had a very active Parent Teachers Association and it is wonderful to have so many families involved in school life which again solidifies that sense of belonging and community. St. Peter’s N.S. has also always been a very pro-active school with teachers engaging in regular professional development courses ensuring that we are using up to date methodologies and resources in our classrooms. It has a wonderful atmosphere to work in and I look forward to many more years ahead teaching in St. Peter’s N.S. and getting to know many more pupils and their families.
