Hi, I'm Mrs Rathbone and I have been working at Waterside since 2023. As well as being a teacher in Year 5, I am also the Senior Assistant Headteacher in school. When I am at home, I enjoy spending my weekends with my family visiting theme parks and having lots of fun! I have 2 children who love to sing and dance and I regularly go to watch them perform.
Mrs Joinson-Spencer
Hello! I have been teaching at Waterside since 2019 and I am also the SENCo here too. When I am not at work, I support Manchester United Women's Football team and watch many home matches at Leigh Sports Village - my favourite player is Rachel Williams! I have 3 pets at home (2 cats and 1 dog), their names all begin with 'M' - Max, Minnie and Milo!

At the weekends, I am Secretary of Hanley Town Football Club first team where we travel up and down the country supporting the team and meeting lots of new people. I have 2 children who also used to come to Waterside and we have a family dog called Francis.
