Kirsty Cruttenden
Kirsty is a Teaching Assistant at Riverside Primary School. However, her links with Riverside began in 2010 when she enrolled as a volunteer at the Children’s Centre (which was then managed by the school) and became Vice Chair of the Advisory Board. When her eldest child began school at Riverside Kirsty was a founding member of FoRPS and also became a parent volunteer within the school. It was this experience which inspired Kirsty to fulfil her ambition to transfer her skills to the classroom.
Kirsty’s youngest child is currently a student at Riverside with her eldest having moved onto RMGS.

Kirsty welcomed the opportunity to become an Acadamy Committee member and utilise this experience to support the fantastic work of the school.
