My love of working with children is what brought me to working at Bawdsey Primary School. I have 12 years of experience working in various settings with children of all ages. After having a break from childcare when I had my children, I just knew that education and putting my all into helping children was where my heart was. There is no greater feeling than seeing the children I work with develop in confidence.

Mrs Katie Butler

Job Titles:
  • Head Teacher
I have been teaching for 20+ years, and I am proud to be part of a profession that develops children's learning, skills, confidence and lives. I taught in a number of schools prior to taking up headship, this included a number of leadership roles, the last being as a Deputy at a school in Ipswich with over 370 pupils. I became the Headteacher of Bawdsey CEVCP School in 2016. I have an Early Years specialism in education and a creative background before this with my degree being a Bachelor of Arts (Hons), which I have latterly extended with a Master of Arts (Hons) in education and an NPQEL qualification (National Professional Qualification for Executive Leadership). I am lucky enough to have an extremely supportive family and my husband and I have two sons which keep us on our toes, 3 slightly mad black cats and a corn snake called 'Fluffy'. Living locally myself, I understand the uniqueness and beauty of our location, and I am in a privileged position to be Headteacher to an amazing school. I love the family feel of Bawdsey school and how we can help children and their families. I am lucky enough to now lead a family and community orientated school in Suffolk.
