Meet the Team
Abi Joachim
Suffolk TA Network Coordinator
I have worked as a TA and later English specialist HLTA since graduating in 2001. I have a degree in psychology and an MA in education with a focus on SEND. I specialise in literacy support, particularly phonics and dyslexia. As well as working as the Suffolk TA Network Coordinator, I work closely with Unity and Ipswich Associate Research Schools as an Evidence Lead in Education (ELE). In my spare time, I enjoy reading and belong to a local reading group. I also like board games, pub quizzes, cooking and spending time with my family and our dog Milo.
Julie Clegg
Assistant Coordinator
I have a background in sales and marketing and have worked as a TA since 2013 at Morland Primary School. I am a Mental Health Champion, specialise in teaching phonics and have a passion for adapting and delivering lessons to children with Thrive needs. In my spare time, I am part of a volunteer group for the 'Friends of Holywells Park' to increase local knowledge, understanding and enjoyment of the park through events such as 'apple day'. I also love gardening at home and have initiated our school to become an Eco-School through the RHS School Gardening scheme to improve the children's mental health and physical wellbeing. Lastly, I love reading historical books, walking and spending time with my family including my pet Lionhead Lop rabbit called Cookie.
Carolyn Love
Assistant Coordinator
I have worked within early years and schools in Suffolk for the last 21 years. I have experience with a wide range of settings with children aged from two to eleven. My more recent experience is within junior schools and working as a Remote Learning Support Assistant (RLSA) during lockdown. I really enjoy supporting children to access their education and playing a small part in their welfare. I am looking forward to connecting with other teaching assistants and promoting and sharing ideas. In my home life, I enjoy reading, craft, spending time with my family and volunteering in our local community and church.
