As you may know our school council members put members of staff under the spotlight to 'Ask them Anything'!

Under the School Council Spotlight this time, is Mrs Davidson, our Deputy Headteacher.

Full Name: 

Sasha Marie Davidson

How old are you?  

21 + 20 - my 40th birthday was in lockdown on April Fool's Day!

Describe yourself in 3 words:

This is hard!

Kind - I think of others
Creative - at home and school
Hardworking - work hard and am dedicated

What was your dream job when you were younger?

I really wanted to be in a band because I am musical - I can play instruments:  cornet, piano and saxaphone.  I wanted to work on a cruise ship and travel the world.

Do you have any children? 

I have three children - Beau is 4years old, starting school and very cheeky.  Xanthe is 10years old and Miles is 12years old and in Year 7.  

I also have two stepchildren - Josh is 26years old and Annabelle is 24years old.

What are your hobbies? 

What was your first impression of Linden School?

The size! My old school only had 190 children, compared to Linden School at over 400 children.  Staff were kind and lovely and the children nice - like one big family.  

Is there a subject you feel should be taught more in school?

Music - raise the profile and feature it more in everyday lessons.  Also more Forest School opportunities especially in Key Stage 2.  

If you could choose one superpower, what would it be?

Lots I would like to have, but I decided I would like magical powers to get rid of coronavirus and we could go back to normal.  

You can go anyhere in the world, but you have to stay there forever.  What three things would you take?

Another hard one!  I may have cheated.  My family, my pets (two cats named by the children Yoda and Loki) and my photos to have lots of memories with me. 

What is your spirit animal?

Butterflies - they cope with change and are adaptable,  based on the job that I do and how we have to adapt constantly and approach change with positivity.  

What is the best and worst thing about being a Deputy Head?

Best thing - I can help Mrs Collins to make a positive impact on the school and lead the school to make changes.  

Worst thing - not enough time to spend in class and see the children.  I'd much prefer to do this than battle to complete my 'To Do' list.

What would make a perfect weekend?

Being with my family.  I love weekends being with my children and not have to rush about to clubs and activities and that we can have lunch at the pub and go for a nice walk - quality time!
