Julie Eyres

Julie Eyres is a Head Teacher of a small primary school in Barnet. After spending 15 years working as a contract negotiator for IT and telecommunications, she made the decision to move into education, retraining as a primary school teacher – and has never looked back. For Julie, education is all about the individual child. Enabling them to fulfil their potential, no matter the hurdles they face. She takes time with children and families to understand the whole picture so they can work together to identify the challenges and find solutions. She believes all children have the potential to become creative thinkers, lifelong problem solvers and social advocates. To achieve this, she believes it is imperative for every child to learn how to look after themselves physically, emotionally and psychologically. This takes time, care, thought and support. Her ultimate goal is for her children to leave school equipped with a “tool kit” of skills, including emotional intelligence, resilience, empathy and social connectedness.
