My name is Catherine Boddy and I joined the Iffley Academy in September 2017. I have worked in education for many years in a variety of roles and I love being part of this vibrant community at Iffley. I teach Monet class in the Tate gallery and I am also Head of Maths.
When I am not in school I like to spend time with my husband and two cats. I have two sons, both of whom are currently at university. I love nature and enjoy going for long walks, exploring new places and pottering in my garden. To relax I like to read, listen to music, crochet, write and drink tea!
I am passionate about working with young people and helping them to discover their purpose and value in what can sometimes be a very confusing world!
Monet is named after the famous French artist Claude Monet and is part of the Tate Modern Gallery where we prioritise a) new students to the academy b) students in Years 7 – 8 who will benefit from consolidating their transition year c) students with Communication and Interaction needs who would benefit from having opportunities to support and mentor new students to the academy.
