Donna Sankey, Intervention Teacher, and Trainer, is a passionate advocate for children's education and well-being. With over 30 years of experience working with children, Donna's journey started as a qualified nurse and evolved through voluntary work and teaching assistant roles before she pursued a degree and obtained qualified teacher status. Her dedication to supporting children facing challenges in developing their skills has always been at the core of her professional journey.

When the opportunity to become an intervention teacher presented itself, Donna eagerly pursued training for an Every Child Counts (ECC) intervention at Edge Hill University. This experience opened doors for her to further enhance her knowledge of various ECC interventions, which she now uses to support children in her school. Donna's enthusiasm for helping children reach their full potential led her to become a trainer for multiple intervention programs.

As a middle leader, Donna extends her expertise to support colleagues in implementing interventions effectively, ensuring positive outcomes for students with diverse needs. Continuously striving to expand her knowledge and skills, Donna actively seeks out new interventions to enhance her role as an Intervention Teacher. She dedicates herself to ongoing training, including delivering successful mathematics intervention programs like Success@Arithmetic and 1stClass@Number on behalf of Edge Hill University. Donna's unwavering passion for empowering children through education shines through in her work every day.

“1stClass@Number has made a remarkable difference, not only to our pupils but also for our TAs. The high-quality training helped our TAs to become much more confident with mathematics – not just in delivering the intervention but also in supporting class mathematics teaching.”

“Our maths lead found it so valuable and really appreciates all the support you gave her. She said she feels more confident as a subject lead now. So, thank you.”

BECKY STANLEY – Headteacher – BENTLEY WEST PRIMARY SCHOOL
