Mr C. Story
Principal
Designated Safeguarding Lead, Senior Mental Health Lead, Curriculum Leader, Leadership & Management, CIOC Designated Teacher, GDPR Champion.
I have worked at Hardwick Green since September 2019 when I was Vice Principal, and I took up post as Principal in April 2020. I started teaching in 2009 after graduating from Durham University and taught for ten years at another primary school in Stockton - across Year 1 to Year 6 - before moving to Hardwick Green. I am interested in what makes a good school leader and my favourite subject to teach is mathematics. I am currently studying for my National Professional Qualification in Executive Leadership with Ambition Institute. Outside of work, I spend most of my time looking after my twin boys, but when I get some free time I enjoy reading (Stephen King is my favourite author), cooking, and building Lego! I have quite an extensive collection including the Home Alone house, Ghostbusters car and the Back To the Future DeLorean!
Mr A. Jones
Acting Vice Principal / Year 3 Teacher
Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead, Assessment Leader, English Leader
I have worked at Hardwick Green as Assistant Principal for three years now and have been teaching since 2013 after graduating from Teesside University. I have spent my teaching career in Key Stage 2, teaching all year groups from 3 – 6. In school, my passion is writing and exploring vocabulary and language with children. I love to spend time with children, telling stories and reading books. Outside of school, I have three young children to keep me busy and entertained. I play football on a Saturday afternoon and coach a junior football team on a Sunday.
