Mrs Putsman

Dawn O'Hara

Deputy Head Teacher

Miss O'Hara is the Deputy Head at Calverley. She is a memebr of a local running club and has completed the London Marathon twice. Her latest challenge is to try and get the staff fitter and has just started a weekly running club for the staff! When she is not out running on Otley Chevin, Miss O'Hara can be found out on her bike. A favourite route is up to Bolton Abbey finishing the ride with coffee and cake at the cafe!

Miss O'Hara is also a keen traveller and loves visiting different places off the beaten track. A favourite destination is South America and on her last visit, she set up a link with a local school in Peru. She is a fan of Liverpool FC and thinks that Wales and anything Welsh is great!

She enjoys going to the cinema and theatre and has a major sweet tooth - eating lemon cake and anything chocolate (with a good cup of tea of course!).

Early Years Foundation Stage Teacher

Miss Wilkinson has seen many fantastic changes within the Foundation Stage during this time. She enjoys internet shopping and travelling. She spends much of her free time in the gym, keeping fit. This is largely due to her unhealthy obsession with chocolate, sweets and cakes!
