Mrs Ruth Morris joined the staff of Coventry Preparatory School in September 2004.

She obtained a BA (Hons) degree in French from Liverpool University. One year of the four year course was spent as an assistant English teacher at Lycée Francois Rabelais, Fontenay-Le-Comte, France. She studied for her P.G.C.E. at Warwick University, specialising in Early Years education.

Her first teaching post was as a Reception class teacher at a large primary school in Coventry, where she was later given responsibility for the Early Years Phase. Since that time she has held teaching posts across the full primary age range, including phase leaderships and the post of Special Needs Co-ordinator.

Mrs Morris has also worked as an audit moderator within the primary sector for the Coventry Education Authority, a role which included delivering In-service training to other teachers in order to develop assessment knowledge and strategies for Year 2 and Year 6 SATs.

Following the birth of her two daughters, Mrs. Morris returned to teaching and served at Balsall Common Primary School where she set up the French curriculum for Key Stage 2 children.

Since joining Coventry Prep Mrs Morris has taught predominantly within the Early Years, taking on the role of co-ordinator soon after joining the school. She has also taught in Year 2 and has recently taken on the role of teaching French to our younger pupils.

In her spare time she enjoys films, reading and fell walking.
