Emma Kay
- I’ve spent most of my career at Hillsborough, which truly feels like home. As a member of the Leadership Team, SENCO, and Safeguarding Lead, I’m passionate about ensuring every child gets the support they need to shine. I especially enjoy working with pupils facing barriers to learning and supporting families so we can help children reach their full potential together.Outside of school, I love travelling, reading, gardening, spending time with my family—and you’ll often find me in a coffee shop with a good coffee.
