My name is Clare Carr and I am the headteacher of Butterknowle, Frosterley and Woodland Primary Schools which are federated as The Dales Partnership.
In my teaching career, I have taught throughout the primary age range and in a variety of schools both large and small. I really value working in village schools. I love the sense of community and the individual and personal approach which small schools have.
I live in Teesdale and enjoy walking in the local area, visiting the cinema, theatre and exhibitions and reading.
