Staff Did You Know

We thought it would be nice for parents to know a little bit about the wonderful staff members at BCS. So, when we have some extra space in the newsletter we plan on filling it with interesting bits of information to help you know the teachers who are enjoying the privilege of working with your children.

Mrs Amy Sprenger

Originally from Southampton, I went to a Christian primary and secondary school, which was very similar to BCS. I graduated from The University of Sheffield with a degree in Zoology and then worked for a mountaineering company, where I organised expeditions and courses for school and youth groups. I have had the great opportunity to co-lead expeditions to Ecuador and Slovakia, have summited Mount Kilimanjaro (the highest peak in Africa) and, this summer, Stok Kangrib (a 6,100m peak in the Indian Himalayas). In the summer of 2006 I married Gareth and moved to Leeds, where he was based. Whilst settling into Leeds and married life, I spent a while working as a PA in the city centre. Eventually I made contact with BCS, and after much discussion and prayer, I decided I should apply for the post of Science teacher. I began working at BCS in September 2007. My move to BCS has been challenging and exciting, and I have enjoyed being part of the new middle school environment. It's fantastic to work in a school where God is at the centre.
